In Reply to: How do you decide whether to couple or de-couple a component? posted by hartwerger on April 27, 2007 at 13:49:13:
I have found de-coupling a CD transport, then adding a 5-8 lb. sandbag to the top gave very positive results. To test find a couple of those air pillows used in packing boxes for shipping or blow-up a couple quart size zip-lock bags to place under your CDP, preamp, turntable, etc. Now listen to the effect. Now fill a quart bag with sand and while listening to music add the sandbag to the de-coupled component(difficult w/the turntable)and hear the added depth and detail as you do. IMO de-coupling is best done with "air" ie: air-bags, tire tubes and hollow rubber balls, never spikes.Is the coupled component drainig or absorbing? Most likely both. The de-coupled component only has it's own vibrations to deal with, which is where the sandbags come in. Sandbags add mass while damping case vibrations. Enjoy
