    Yes works for me. Strange combo for sure but does the trick. Compact laminate is strange stuff as it contains many constrained layers of material.

    Cheers Gary, sometimes easier to show it in a video than describing it but the proof of the pudding is in the listening.

    Sometimes you have to take a look at strange combinations and just see if they work and this combo definitely does with my TT. Every step I have taken in vibration control has unveiled great benefits in the listening experience and this is especially the case for turntables as you know.
