Cartridge ISOLATION; What Say You?

As usual it's so ugly looking device that can make any beautiful tonearm and cartridge looks ugly. 

My arm/arm-board/plinth (70mm 7 layer JVC) are solid, thus I believe all groove/stylus vibration is going into the cartridge;

Then either they stopped teaching basic physics in high school, or you slept through it. Newton, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. What you describe is impossible. Never happen. If it did we could not play baseball, tennis, drive cars, on and on.    

The reason the stylus vibrates in the first place is the record groove hits it. Therefore, equal and opposite, just as much vibrational energy goes into the record as the cartridge. Equal and opposite. Are you sure you never heard this before? Just checking.   

These record grooves by the way, they are at right angles to each other which means each side is 45 degrees to vertical, which means Ralph is wrong all the vibrational energy is not in the plane of the platter.   

If you want to try gaskets and duct tape be my guest. Right now on the Tekton Owner's Group on FB there is a guy thinks it funny to use jumper cables. So har de har har. Knock yourself out. When (if) you decide to come back to reality and learn something I will still be here. Who knows if I can set aside the BS might even answer another question or two.   

The reason the stylus vibrates in the first place is the record groove hits it. Therefore, equal and opposite, just as much vibrational energy goes into the record as the cartridge. Equal and opposite.

Conservation of mechanical (vibrational) energy is not a law, but conservation of energy is. Therefore the vibrations are not necessarily equal.

What part of f=ma do you need help with?

there's no need for you to take every opportunity to prove ....

I was letting you know my plinth is solid, and currently nothing else (above the cartridge, or under the tonearm base) is moving. You knew what my point was.

I agree with Chakster, Lew's thing is UGLY!!! And too thick!

I'm also wondering about the adhesive sheets that sound proofing car audio installers use inside door cavities.
