All,
I'm looking for some recommendations on isolating my Air Tight tube amps (ATM-2's Mono'ed). I'd prefer to stay away from mega-expensive "audiophile type" devices and go with something that accomplishes similar results without the large outlay of cash. I'm not sure if isolation, as opposed to coupling, is the best way to go; but I have a suspicion that it is. Due to the weight of the output transformers on my amps, they are quite heavy (approx 80 lbs each). So I would need to use something that can support a lot of weight. I'm currently using carbon blocks to support my line and phono stages - to somewhat effective results. My turntable is resting upon a 5" Maple Boo's Butcher block that's suspended upon three Nordost carbon/metal cones (not sure exactly which ones).
I'm not opposed to trying something that requires some DIY effort or shelling out a couple of hundred bucks.
Here's a picture of my set-up if this helps with suggestions....
Thanks!
Kyle
