We’ve experimented with all kinds of materials to improve the sound of Dual 1245 turntable. Fantastic! The swimming pool closed cell noodle 2 inch in diameter is truly the best performer increasing the sound definition of this set up.
I did this myself, without ever knowing this video existed. My Dual 1237 is not the heaviest plinth on earth, but it managed to crush the pool noodle disks I cut for the four corners of the turntable. Also, while it did help with some vibration, my turntable would still jump if I hit the dresser lightly (no other place to put the turntable in my computer room).
Superb!..did-it w/my DUAL 1264, flutter with 'Platter Matter' on down by 4%. Almost free solution to go lower than best DUAL 1264 specs after 14% reduction of use of platter matter.
are you in same room as the microphone :-) good tips, I have cut rubber balls in half and placed under heavy equipment. looking for something for loudspeaker cabinet... many mention blu-tac - but I didnt find any engineering assessments of the method yet!
buy a pack of cleaning sponges about 1 inch thick. no cutting required. grab the ones with 2 types of sponge on each sponge... ive done this and they work great, add one in the middle for better results, if the bottom of your turntable isn't flat, use two cutting boards with the groves for blood. place marbles in the blood track so the cutting boards are elevated by the marbles, and use the sponges under the sandwiched marbles cutting boards, now you have dual frequency isolation board for less that 50$ depending how much you spend on the cutting boards.
yeah first thing I thought of not to mention I'm not dropping 1700 on a platform anytime soon but to say this will perform the same is flat out false and a straight up lie.
@@j.johnson2792 for shelves, like the Ikea Kallax, that don't have backs, especially when there is a large gap between shelf and wall. You cut the pool noodles, very easy to do with a large serrated kitchen knife, and wedge them at back of shelf. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GIJEP3DteVg.html
Great tip but your speakers are not the most important part of your system. The most important part is the source, that is your turntable or CD player. Remember garbage in garbage out. No matter how good your speakers they only sound as good as what you feed into them.
@tonyjedioftheforest1364 agree with you 💯 the amp should not add a Anything but unfortunatly they all do change the sound. The perfect amp simply does not exist.
