Totally unstressed today - but here we go anyway.


I will be less stressed when I've retrieved my credit card from the computer
shop in a little while from now! (Last minute, pre-closing dash for a new
router last night!!)

(That's *rooter* not 'rowter' as the bloke kept calling it!! ;-)



Wooden cones wont dissipate any energy to speak of, whichever way up
you put them. They'll transmit every footstep and passing lorry. The
squash balls are a great idea though.


But commonplace - I've already got squidgy feet on a couple of other decks
and they work just fine. I can do squidgy anytime, I wanted to explore
'solid shapes'. I don't have passing lorries (often) or footfalls to worry
about - a valve amp and concrete paving slab tame the rack fairly well and
its on a carpetted, concrete floor!

What I want to do is clamp mass to the turntable.

A better idea than wooden rings
might be a pretty sheet of wood with holes drilled in appropriate
places, about half the size of the squash balls.


Ooh, do I detect DIY leanings...?? :-)


Is that grey plinth
thing heavy?


It's all heavy.


If it is then try to keep that above the squash balls -
sprung mass is what it is all about.


No, taking springs out of the equation is what it's all about (this time
round, anyway)....
