For placing an amp and a CD player inside a built in cabinet, what would be the best way to control vibrations: do I want some kind of isolation platform (actual brand suggestions would be appreciated), or something more like Herbie's Tenderfeet? Or both?
Isolate the CD player. That will protect it from floor borne seismic vibration as well as vibrations from the cabinet produced by all sources including airborne.
@mcanaday, please tell us additional specifics regarding your built in cabinet. What type pf materials (wood?), how are the shelves held to the frame and how does the cabinet sit on the floor (legs, flat base) etc.
I think it's actually an IKEA bookshelf that has been recessed into the wall. I'm pretty sure it is just a flat base on the floor and the shelves are particle board. They aren't adjustable...
Special formulated cellulose high molecular polymer gel is filled inside the NOTEPAD2 to absorb vibration, unwanted resonance, EMI and RFI.
The material is non-toxic.
Three layers of insulation: PE, aluminium foil and nylon cloth.
Size is 18cm X 12.5cm.
Weight is approximately 350 gram.
For placement on top of the BLU-RAY/CD/DVD/SACD player or transport, a single NOTE PAD should be placed directly over the drive mechanism. Player or transport with top loading mechanism should place NOTEPAD2 behind or next to it. For amplifiers, a single NOTEPAD2 will work best if it placed on top of the transformer.
Maximum temperature: 70°C
Avoid direct exposure to UV light. Prolong exposure will shorter the life span of the NOTEPAD2.
Prolonged placement on the equipment may leave an impression on the chassis surface. We recommended removing the NOTEPAD2after usage.
