I apologize for being too harsh, Mijo. Was trying for humor. By the way, my OTL Atma-sphere amps originally used the high current Russian triodes (6C33C) designed for use in their jet fighters on board radar. This was deemed advisable because tubes are immune to nuclear blast emissions whereas SS is not. The US countered with an even higher current triode, the 7241, which until not so long ago was used in our own radar installations, at Andrew’s Air Force Base in MD, for one example. It may still be in use, for all I know. Anyway a few years ago I converted my amplifiers from the 6C 33C to the 7241. They are way more expensive and harder to find, but the sonic benefits seem worth the effort and expense.
How to isolate turntable from footstep shake or vibration
Even while the Oracle turnable that I use has a built-in springs suspension by design there is a low or even sub-low frequency boom every time someone walks in a room. This becomes really bad with the subwoofer’s volume set high as the low frequency footsteps make straight to subwoofer where they are amplified shaking everything around. It seems the cartridge is picking up the footsteps very efficiently as even a lightest foot down becomes audioable. What can be done to attempt to isolate the turntable from the low frequency vibrations? Interesting, that the lower the volume of the subwoofer, the less the footstep shake is evident and with the subwoofer turned off it is a barely a problem at all.
