To protect the wood, or to change the sound? :scratch2:Try putting copper pennies under your isolation cones...

I originally did it on my turn table to protect the wood. I almost used some nickles and then I remember reading that copper has sound deadening properties (plus they are cheaper) so I decided to use them. Now I may be imagining things, but it seemed to make a difference in reducing feedback. I assume vintage coins would be audio nirvana! You may want to experiment between US and Canadian coins and possibly other denominations.
Thanks Scott!Quite the system you have there Nate, you've done some excellent work. :yes: :thmbsp:
Heh! Give rfgumby some credit, here - he wouldn't have gone to all this trouble without providing some way to level the platter!To level your platter.:thmbsp:
Very funny, Gary!Isn't being an audiophile isolation enough?
Wants in the little aluminum box to the right in the picture Nate?
Awesome setup. Now if you only had a proper rack for it all.

:lmao:For nickels, try some 1942-43 tombac Canadians, they have a high copper content. As for pennies, pre-1997 Canadians were copper, where they shifted to nickel and steel afterwards.
While this is mostly in jest, I hope we don't unwillingly start a new craze.

Thank you, Carl!Nate, your craftsmanship and aesthetics are always top notched. Beautiful work and I bet they sound even better!
Interconnects are a hodgepodge of stuff, mostly purchased secondhand when they showed up at a price I couldn't resist. I don't own that many of them, though. My favorites are some Nordost Red Dawns and a pair of Siltech something or others.What kind of interconnects are you using? And how do you have multiple pairs of SUT-worthy input transformers just laying around?
