- We’ve experimented with all kinds of materials to improve the sound of Dual 1245 turntable. Fantastic! The swimming pool closed cell noodle 2 inch in diameter is truly the best performer increasing the sound definition of this set up.
Thank you for this demonstration, and explanation on how to make very affordable isolation feet for a turntable.🔉🎵🎶
Great idea I will give this a shot.
This a great tip . One for u is my home made audio sandbox box. It worn fantastically
I did this myself, without ever knowing this video existed. My Dual 1237 is not the heaviest plinth on earth, but it managed to crush the pool noodle disks I cut for the four corners of the turntable. Also, while it did help with some vibration, my turntable would still jump if I hit the dresser lightly (no other place to put the turntable in my computer room).
Superb!..did-it w/my DUAL 1264, flutter with 'Platter Matter' on down by 4%. Almost free solution to go lower than best DUAL 1264 specs after 14% reduction of use of platter matter.
This is the way to go; simple expedient and it will work
Thank you sir. So true. Doesn’t matter $1000 absorber platform a noodle at Walmart three dollars they both look the same.
ive done this on partys with my 1200 :D ... also tennis balls. :D ....great video.
What worked for me was placing 2 layers of bubble wrap underneath a granite tile the same size as the turntable.. Voila!
are you in same room as the microphone :-) good tips, I have cut rubber balls in half and placed under heavy equipment. looking for something for loudspeaker cabinet... many mention blu-tac - but I didnt find any engineering assessments of the method yet!
brilliant. Love the CZcams!
...or tennis balustrady cut in half. Also cheap and effective.
great another 1 is cork coffee cup holders !!place under feet upside down .done.
So how do you level up the player?
yeah first thing I thought of not to mention I'm not dropping 1700 on a platform anytime soon but to say this will perform the same is flat out false and a straight up lie.
Pool noodles are good for putting at the back of open bookshelves behind your records.
Just curious why you would need poll noodles behind your records in a shelf? Or how you would even do that
@@j.johnson2792 for shelves, like the Ikea Kallax, that don't have backs, especially when there is a large gap between shelf and wall. You cut the pool noodles, very easy to do with a large serrated kitchen knife, and wedge them at back of shelf.

@@TheAgeOfAnalog ahh ok!. My better homes and garden doesn't have a back and does that. I'll try it!
@@j.johnson2792 I have same. It's the WalMart knockoff of the Ikea.
@@j.johnson2792 cut them about 1/8 - 1/4" long, so they wedge in place and stay.
buy a pack of cleaning sponges about 1 inch thick. no cutting required. grab the ones with 2 types of sponge on each sponge... ive done this and they work great, add one in the middle for better results, if the bottom of your turntable isn't flat, use two cutting boards with the groves for blood. place marbles in the blood track so the cutting boards are elevated by the marbles, and use the sponges under the sandwiched marbles cutting boards, now you have dual frequency isolation board for less that 50$ depending how much you spend on the cutting boards.
will this prevent bass loop at high volumes?
When i walk heavy on my hardwood flood the record skips u think this will work?
grab a wall mount.
then buy a pack of cleaning sponges about 1 inch thick. no cutting required.
Try memory foam.
Hey that record looks so Hot what the name of its model.
Dual Model 1245
Good idea but all I can say is "Sorbothane" hemispheres.
It doesn’t work better than that cheap option, belive me and safe your money
Great tip but your speakers are not the most important part of your system. The most important part is the source, that is your turntable or CD player. Remember garbage in garbage out. No matter how good your speakers they only sound as good as what you feed into them.
Right I agree with your thought. Except the most important piece to me is your power source which is your amp or receiver. But you are so right.
@@homerward8203 your amp should not add anything, it’s only there to amplify the signals fed to it.
Understand
@tonyjedioftheforest1364 agree with you 💯 the amp should not add a
Anything but unfortunatly they all do change the sound. The perfect amp simply does not exist.
the color of those wont work for me, sorry
pink may work for you
yes, color is everything when it comes to setting up your turntable. Hey rocket boy-guess you missed the part about using plastikote-it comes in black, red and puce (look that last one up).
very important to use your phone correctly when making a CZcams video
and when you're on the toilet.
