RECOMMEDATIONS FOR AC RECEPTACLE
I replaced a handful of Hart Arrow receptacles with Acme silver plated jobs I traded Bob Crump for. The Acmes outperformed the Hart Arrows, which in turn had outperformed Hubbles, at least in my system. The Acmes are very open and robust sounding,...

How to best isolate TT from vibration?
Traffic, subways and other sources of Low Freq. Vibration (that shake the house) are included in my definition of "seismic vibration." The proof that wall mounting is not totally effective is to employ an isolation device under the component mount... 
How to best isolate TT from vibration?
Unfortunately, (continuous) very low frequency seismic vibration forces the entire house or apt. to move up and down. Thus, wall mounting is only partially effective for isolating in the vertical direction - a "de-coupling" device is required to "...
