Turntable isolation...
shoe has got it right, but in a small NYC apt there's no extra rooms, doors to close or signs to post. 🙂

Turntable isolation...
About 5 years ago I sold a dac here on Agon to a guy that designed and built nuclear reactors. I'm personally a renewable energy kinda' guy but suffice it to say he was super smart, obviously knew a ton about engineering and happened to be an audi... 
Vibration Control for Lightweight Tube Components
I have it on pretty good authority that Vibraplanes are the only truly legitimate isolation platform.  I think that this is confirmed by the fact that an air  based isolating platform is what is used in all real deal labs and research facilities. ...

TT Speed Control/ Phoenix Roadrunner and Eagle Review
Ledopier,I'm sorry to say that I not only don't know the answer to that question but I wasn't even aware that dialing in minimum voltage was an option. I'm obviously a newbie at leaving reviews and certainly need to be more familiar with the produ... 
TT Speed Control/ Phoenix Roadrunner and Eagle Review
bipoletti, glad you discovered the voltage reduction bit, and sorry I forgot to mention it in the first place. I agree, a very important aspect and consideration. juan11, I do have the 2800 Signature and it has exactly (I'm sure to the micron like...
