    So before I start my Wool Ball project I decided to investigate another Wool based material - Felt!

    Felt is manufactured from Wool and the fibres are rearranged via a water agitation method. This is 100% Wool but in a different and probably more usable form.
    I have decided to use double layers of felt under the turntable motor and turntable feet in order to reduce/remove vibration bing transferred from the motor and into the turntable via the feet. This is very audible if I turn up the volume but previously I had mitigated this issue using sorbothane. Tonight I will evaluate the Felt and its effect on vibration transfer.

    Well very quickly as soon as I had all the system powered up it was obvious the Felt failed to achieve what I wanted, in fact it made things worse!

    Ah well you got to try these things.

    Lets hear what the giant wool balls can do when I get them sorted!

    Yes I must be careful writing up some of these experiments as some folk may get confused as to what is going on!

    I think it was Eric Morecambe who used to say he had "a long felt want", but we never did get to see it!
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!
