jimjimbo Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Been looking for an economical solution for a while, and will give these a try. Great pricing compared to some other places I've seen. https://www.supplyhouse.com/DiversiTech-MP-3C-Rubber-Cork-Anti-Vibration-Pad-3-x-3-x-7-8 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverSport Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 my brother (ScorpsFan on this Forum) has used these for years...I have a set and I find they work well...I am not sure if this is the same manufacturer but they look identical...good luck with yours Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richieb Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Can't beat the price. A hifi shop advertises something remarkably similar, albeit a special "formulation" rubber compound for 4x@$25. And I've nearly bought a few sets. Just nearly. Will you be using these in conjunction with cable lifts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will you be using these in conjunction with cable lifts? Yes, I will be placing these directly under the cable lifts.... Seriously though, I will be using these under components, and as part of my isolation configuration for my turntables. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebuy Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Every little bit helps. Gotta keep the sound clean. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terrible idea, everyone knows the white/tan ones make the sound to bright, they say the clear ones are more neutral. At least they curved the wires correctly so the electrons don't scrape together during sharp curves. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a great price. Feel comfortable on your purchase. I have been using them for about 40 yrs. myself with nice results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derrick Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 I have used Sorbothane half spheres and I think they work well. A bit expensive though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been looking at something like this for several months now and finally decided to pull the trigger, even though it’s not a whole lot of money… I will report on how well they work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to ask what does it help with amps, preamps and receivers, I could understand tube amps with with internal tube parts that could break when really hot. I would think tube amps may be more sensitive to vibration but what about the others. 2 minutes ago, silversport said: please forgive the dust... Dust is normal, who wants to move everything around to catch everywhere, especially sensitive things like turntables. And it's nonstop, dust never sleeps. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverSport Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 I've used them to raise a Tube amp for just that very reason...just to get a bit more air flow beneath components... Bill 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's really not about the heat, (although increased airflow is a bonus). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
