Cartridge ISOLATION; What Say You?

Years ago I built my own cartridge isolator and yes it makes a difference. I have abandoned it as I use better cartridges now. The whole idea of f=ma or whatever science formula using to prove a point doesn’t exactly jive as the vibration of the damping needed isn’t close enough to the dampening maximum provided by the isolator. It’s like a mouse pushing on the side of a building, sure it’s pushing but can you measure it? I won’t even try a new isolator as I feel it’s immaterial to my current cartridge choices.

"a new isolator... is immaterial".  That's it! The perfect isolator is no isolator.

Can you please tell me what tomwh is talking about?

@mijostyn No, I can't.

In one eye and out the other, love it.

a steady diet of unamplified acoustic instruments and voices in a reverberant space is the reference. Otherwise chasing your tail.

iF amplified Tower of Power ( a great band over these many many years BTW ), is your reference then I suggest Meyer Sound  gear… 

Oh the days… I used to cath live Jazz, no amplifiers at a fantastic bar in Charleston - High Cotton

… oh the days, and nights
