Makeshift Isolation - Advice Needed
Until I can afford a proper audio rack, my audio equipment will be resting on top of a DIY photography box made of melamine. There are pine panels on the front and back of the box, and only these panels touch the floor. I was also thinking of putting my LPs inside the box, while the equipment rests on top.
The box is strong enough to hold the equipment, but I doubt it's any good with vibration. I managed to find some 1/2" thick felt in the basement. If I place the felt under the box, would this provide suitable dampening? If it matters, I have hardwood floors.
I'm also a bit concerned because I will have to stack my audio components on top of one another (Nait 5i and CD5i). Would it help if I placed some of the felt in between the units as well? There is no exhaust on the top/bottom of either unit and they run fairly cool.
Thanks for the help.
