Huh? What? I never said Sorbothane only sounds good contstrained. What I said was Sorbothane always sounds bad, no matter what. If you can find any place where Sorbothane sounds good you are a genius and I congratulate you. Trust me, there are much better sounding though similar looking materials when constructing constrained layer dampers.
High mass vs Low Mass Turntables - Sound difference?
As I am recently back playing with analog gear after some 15 years away, I thought I would ask the long time experts here about the two major camps of record players -- high vs low mass-loaded-type tables...
For example, an equivalently priced VPI table (say a Classic, Aries or Prime) versus a Rega RP8/10 or equivalent Funk Firm table... the design philosophies are so different ... one built like a tank, the other like a lightweight sports car...
Just wondering if the folks here have had direct experience with such or similar tables, and what have been your experiences and sense of strengths and weaknesses of these two different types of tables.
