New Maplenoll Ariadne owner needing advice

Tell me more about this dampening tape. This sounds interesting. Sounds like u use to damping the motor. how and where to apply the tape. I like the idea of an external plinth but if i can get 80% of that effect without moving the motor, that would be an option to consider. On your room treatment, are u using wall treatment? I know its off topic, but am interested in that aspect of sound improvement also.

O: Forward your home address via email & I'll send you some. Cheers, Charlie

Thanks, i will send it.

The tape is a high quality , micro-spore 3/8" w/ sticky on one side. The interesting feature is that it can be depressed into the smallest spaces and dampens better than any other tape product I know. What I did was cut off enought to wrap around the motor using popcicle sticks to position the tape in the motor cut out with the sticky side out . Just amazing what it did for motor noise. I wraped the tri-mount sides even a greater reduction. I hope that it will work for you as it has for me.

I'm putting a TT stand on a wall; the 'Noll is on hold for a couple more days(I hope).

I'm applying the suggestions/ideas contained in the book "Get Better Sound" to the basement audio room. Smith has the knowledge to set-up any system in any room: He is a mind bender. While he does not recommend reading his book in the traditional way, cover to cover , I couldn't put down. Check out the web site www.getbettersound.com for info.
