Funk has a download on their website named “Isolation Bubble”, which I’ve read. Funk claims that the sound waves from your speakers will cause your tonearm to vibrate. The Houdini isolates the vibrating tonearm from the cart/stylus. Meanwhile the Acromamat mat on the platter isolates the style from vibrations created by the motor, plinth, etc. As result, the cartridge is in an isolation bubble, allowing the stylus to vibrate while tracking the groove and nothing else. Is this accurate? I Have no idea.
Tonearm resonance
Always have had an issue with tonearm noise. I can't afford the the to spend a fortune on a turtable but I just love the sound of vinyl. I have an MMF 7.3 with the stock tonearm and ortofon bronze cartridge which I'm planning to upgrade to a Hana EL most likely. Anyway, I just saw Funk Firm decouplers online the other day and am curious as to whether it is effective or not. If anyone has had experience with it I would love to hear about it. Thanks
