Turntable and Rack vibration control
Actually granite won’t resonate or ring if it’s thick enough under normal conditions unless struck with a hammer or wrench. So my advice is don’t strike it with a hammer or wrench while music is playing and you’ll be alright. And if the granite sl... 
Turntable and Rack vibration control
Granite and cones is a little bit different story than a rigid rack. In the case of granite or say bluestone, it’s less expensive sibling, it’s really all about stiffness and harness, which are more desirable attributes than rigidity for isolation...

Directionality of wire
  stfothGeoff--I think you are misapplying the concept of a self-fulfilling prophecy, here. However, you seem correct on at least the appearance of the backfire effect, on both "sides."sfroth, how can the Backfire Effect apply to anyone except th...
