Damping Plates


Lots of discussions about isolators and couplers used on the bottom of components but not much said about dealing with internal resonances using damping plates on top of the equipment. Harmonic Resolution Systems (HRS) is one of many manufacturers that make such devices but, like all things with an audiophile label, they can get expensive. Low-cost alternatives such as scuba dive weights have been mentioned by some.

Have you tried damping plates and were there worthwhile improvements in sound quality?

Really? First you have to control the magnetic flux surrounding your ears so that it is perfectly symmetrical. Take any headband and using silicone glue two one inch neodymium magnets right above your ears. Amazing. And you won't have to worry about dripping sweat on the record.
Correct geoffkait and absolutely none of it did anything for anybody. The audio fad of the day. It is a shame that legitimate manufacturers do not rail against this stuff. They don't because they have to remain politically correct to sell equipment. The mythology is allowed to continue because it sells equipment. Sounds like politics to me.
