Cartridge ISOLATION; What Say You?


another good read, it does go against my 'instinct' of a rock solid cartridge/arm connection. (non-removable headshell) 

Who thinks what?
Who tried what?

btw, has anyone tried a Len Gregory cartridge (with or without the isolator)?

another comment in the article: reviewer mentioned a layer of isolation under the tonearm base (he tried blu-tac). Also against my 'instinct'.

The compliance of a tonearm is what it is - even it's a Enterprise MkIV.  It's a basic fact that high compliance cartridges work better in a low mass arm; medium compliance cartridges work best in a medium mass arm;  and low compliance cartridges work best in a high mass arm.  You can change the mass of a tonearm by changing the headshell.  This is EXACTLY why Origin Live offers multiple headshell weights for the  Enterprise MkIV (2,5, and 10 grams).  These options are available specifically for compliance matching.  While some tonearms do a better job than others building in design features that minimize the potential for unwanted resonances due to compliance, no tonearm is immune - including yours MC - just ask Origin Live.

Again, either all vibrations matter or they don't.  Enjoy your cherry picking  and please stop instructing people to ignore what other posters say - we are all free to read and ignore what we choose based solely on the merits of what is being said.   
Just ordered a Houdini
I’ve always been a believer in trying out for yourself.
All this discourse means nothing.
FWIW, I've used a small amount of blue tac between my cartridge & arm for a few years now & enjoy the added clarity that provides. Still clamp the cartridge down with the screws so it is absolutely solid.  
I was wondering about the Houdini @slaw , let us know how that works. I just gut thru putting the funk firm mat on one of my tables. It’s is so good I bought another for my vpi. If the housing is as good at the mat. I’m in.
