I am not making this up. Yesterday I was goofing off on The IntarWebs and came across a DIY isoloation project. Picture the bottom half of a shallow wooden box, just larger than your turntable. Got that picture in your head? Now put an inflated bicycle tire inner tube (the kind for 20" BMX bikes) inside the box. The inner tube isn't fully inflated

Welcome Texas from Florida. I adore my S45-2s. Listening to some vinyl with them right now. Just bought a second BM2400 to restore (waiting on delivery). My current Holy Grail is The Precious!

[quote user="Stonk"] Well done Menahem. I'm full of admiration of your patience and electronic knowledge. [/quote] Seconded. Since there's no emoticon available that says "I'm not worthy...":

What wonderful timing - the UPS man brought my new copy of Dark Side of the Moon today. This is my first 180 gram LP. These things are hefty. Gonna play Dark Side with the S40s then swap them out for the S45-2s and play it again!
