Isolation devices


A question regarding a topic I have done my best to avoid.

I have been told my system ( and cabinet ) would benefit from improved isolation.

My phono amplfier ( Leben ) has a floating chassis.

Would the presence of a floating chassis provide inherent isolation from vibration?

Vibration isolation and dampening is additive and can provide  improvements  thoughout your system. Major improvements are often gained by vibration control on your speakers, turntable, amp, and all other components. 

Virtually all audiophile grade components have significant internal isolation... but it is is virtually always improved by additional external vibration control. 

How much value this is, will depend on your whole system. How resolving is it. I recommend photos and creating a virtual system . Then we can see different components. 

FYI. I use a Silent Running Audio Ohio Class Isolation platform under my Linn LP12 turn table (a $3.5K device) which was well worth the improvement. Under my phonostage, Preamp, and DAC, I use a Black Diamond Racing platform an springs. You can see my systems under my userID.

Thank you both for your insights.

I was thinking of trying the Stack Audio product as they do allow a return if not satisfied.

I am hoping looking into vibration control will help assuage my NOS tube addiction which recently flared .  Fortunately it only spilled into the 12AT7 tubes which have not reached astronomical prices.

@rivinyl  I'll second the recommendation of  the Stack Audio Auva EQ . I'd also recommend the higher cost Neodio B2s.  Just my take I didn't find anything worthwhile using Rollerblocks, or though not mentioned above IsoAcoustic Oreas.

While you didn't ask about this if you do find a need/desire for speaker isolation I'd recommend Stack Audio Auva 100's or  the model that best matches the weight of your speakers. 

 

If you can find a Symposium Ultra or 2 used with couplers that would take care of airborne and mechanical vibration

i have one under every component

Good luck
