Welcome to the tweakend!


Just got my Amazon order.  Picked up some nice some cans of Raquetteballs, a dozen Sushi dipping dishes, and a couple of excellent quality maple cutting boards.  Let the games begin!

Even better would have been "half inflated" scooter iner tubes under the bread board/s. Thinner rubber and air as the isolator.

A couple years ago I bought a box of golf balls (~ 8 x 8) to try, but never got around to it. The box will fit pretty well under either my Audio Alchemy DDP-1 or PS 5. Currently, both are resting on Machina Dynamica springs (as is all my kit), which are very effective
georgehifi,

I tried the inner tube thing back in the 90s.  I found it just about impossible to balance components where the center of mass was significantly off center.

The Raquetteballs do have thicker rubber, but it's still the air inside the ball that provides the spring.  And it's much easier to level a component with the center of mass was off center of the component.

 Very easy, you need to "think out of the square", you buy an inner tube that is smaller, 2/3rd’s the size of the plinth it’s under and locate it more to be under the heavier section of the load. Inner tube is far better at isolating than thick rubber balls.
