I'm waiting for the new pieces to arrive to rectify this problem, which I'm certain will cure this little hiccup perfectly..on first listen, there is now near silence behind the music and there is near zero surface noise from the lp, even between the tracks, I'm listening hard for noise, but hearing next to nothing..This in turn is letting more of the music through...the micro dynamics are there in all their glory, along with the rest of mids, highs and bass. I've always had a problem with surface noise, but these wee isolation devices have near cured the problem...looking forward to receiving the finished units Pete...Madaleine sounds fantastic..every element of the tracks are shining through. Sade has never sounded so good..
P.S. no pics yet, till the finished design is ready..these again are another design, which allows the user to put the deck back to spec, with little effort...these feet will also work with the skateboard feet too, but I may change back to Michell's original feet yet, although I have tried the design with both the skateboard wheels and Michell's original feet, there is very little in it...
The mark 2 has landed....a stiffer version, which combats the wobble which has now gone all together. There is still ample flex in the unit to retain the perfect isolation, keeping the deck standing firmly in place..The new isolator kit, has had a nice face lift too...all will be revealed soon...The sound from my deck is wonderful to start with...I can now hear incredibly detailed vocals right forward and sweet..the drummers kit is snappy..pianos and the Hammond organ sounds are smooth...Guitars, saxaphones and brass placed nicely so you can here where they are and last but not least, the bass is fat, fast and tight. The sound space is quite amazing and the music is even more wonderful...another fabulous inexpensive isolation upgrade for the Gyrodec..The Orbe version is in the pipeline...watch this space.....
