In Reply to: A tube preamp vibration control: to couple or to decouple posted by gordan on April 18, 2007 at 13:55:18:
I would suggest trying the barely inflated inner tube.
It's quick easy and cheap and always worth trying.
What I have found from 8 years of tweaking is that there are very few universals.
Follow Ups:
Should I place an inner tube directly under my preamp, or first preamp, than wooden or granite plate than inner tube?
... pre-amp!
I would start with the tube directly under the pre.
It may have to be off-centre to balance as one corner of the pre will have much of the mass.
I have literally used 4 strokes of a bicycle pump to get the right result.
Put (over)simply you want the minimum to raise the feet off the shelf.
This may not be the arrangement you finish up using, but it is a reasonable place to start.
A large maple Block under a tube preamp can sound heavenly . Thats what I have under my Extended Foreplay III .
