I am a vinyl addict who also likes to play the music LOUD once in a while. I have a set of Paradigm speakers and two Klipsch powered subs, so the house can get rocking. My turtable is a Technics Sl1200, which by itself is a very self isolating and feeback resistant turntable, but when I turned that volume knob to a certain point, feeback would occur. I would then use the DJ trick of rubber bands and ashtrays whenever I chose to have a loud listening session, and they did eliminate the feedback. However it looked horrible, so I figured I'd give these a shot. They work just as well as the ashtrays/rubberband setup without the eyesore. I have them on a slab of black lacquered maple with the TT on top.

I admit it, I got the package and opened and thought, I just got scammed... I thought I could have probably just cut a tennis ball in half and used it instead... Well I was wrong! Real Wrong! I bought these specifically for installing under my Sony Turntable. You see I love Vinyl and, as a result I like to play it very loud. So loud that at times the bass in the records I'm playing will come back through the needle. It is caused by excessive vibration of the system. The same noises of nuisance occur when my two little ones are running around and dancing near the turntable. After the installation of these I have successfully isolated the excessive vibrations coming through the needle on the turntable. If you like your vinyl, play it loud, have dancing little ones... Get some of these... You'll be glad you did.

I have a set up that any audiophile would cringe at. My turntable (great table, great cart) is on a shelf inside a TV cabinet about 10 inches from a hardwood floor (in a 100 year old house - so it's not the most rock solid floor). Pluswhich, I have 3 small kids that run around who have no care of the skips and jitters created by their running. I had resigned myself to never listening to vinyl when the kids are awake.

I saw this product in a Stereophile magazine and thought I'd give it a try (it's only $25). It's an odd material - quishy but also responsive. They were simple to apply and were successful in removing any vibration from the pitter patter of my children running around the room.

Long story short - if they worked for me, they'll work for you.

I can't be more happy with this purchase.

Bought this item thinking that it might improved my sound quality. Well let me tell you it not only improved it, it opend it. My music never sounded better.
