Description

If the original feet of your turntable are gone... These ones are made of solid rubber and 50 durometer Sorbothane (matching the weight of the TT) combo with superior vibration resistance. Sorbothane itself reduces vibration by 94.7% and combined with the heavy industrial grade rubber feet, vibration is further damped due to the different physical characteristics of the Sorbothane and the rubber parts. The feet are assembled from
4 pcs of rubber feet
4 rubber dampers as casing to hold the Sorbothane damper in place
(casing is 1/8" deep)
4 Sorbothane** super dampers, 1/4'' in height, sitting in the rubber damper casing
4 stainless steel screws
4 stainless steel washers
Size of feet is 2 5/8" diameter x 1 3/8" height (with screw, height is 1 7/8" from bottom to screw tip). Clearance is 3/8".
I used to have the original rubber-and-spring feet on my Pioneer PL-560 with brand new rubber boots that I found in Germany. While the turntable was floating on these springs I had an excellent protection against whacking, the Sorbothane/rubber combo in this ad supersedes the sound quality of the rubber-and-spring setup by a large margin.
The feet will arrive pre-assembled; you just need to screw them in the original hole in the particle board. For optimal performance tighten the screws to the point where you can still effortlessly rotate them by hand. This way the Sorbothane will be loaded by the weight of the turntable only as designed.
** Sorbothane is a gel-like shock absorber and vibration damper material which maintains its shape under stress and has been used by NASA to isolate vibration in their equipment. It is used to isolate subwoofers from turntables.
NOTE: Other vendors try to use so-called "soft rubber shock absorbers" which are actually used for gaskets and shoe heels and transmit vibrati

Product review & video

hey everybody billowing from em NPC Tech hope you're having a great day my good friend Derek brought in his vintage pioneer turntable PL 5:18 overall it's in great condition but in desperate need of new feet you know it's a very common sight to see these old rubber feet have cracked or deteriorated over the past 40 years which cancels out their anti vibration and isolation properties in this video I'm going to show you how I've upgraded Derek's Panasonic to our sorbets thing turntable isolation feet they measure two and three-quarter inches wide by one and a half inches tall and sorbets Thane is an excellent vibration isolating material with a very high damping coefficient so I'm gonna grab my Philips screwdriver so I can remove the retired factory feet from Derek's pioneer so pioneer use these tapered thread forming screws to attach their factory feet the sorbets Thayne isolation feet
