Inner tubes and cables' constraints

Posted by robertopisa (A) on January 24, 2009 at 14:15:39

I read several posts on using innertubes under hi end rig. I experimented this tweak and it works for me. (Used scooter size for half-inflated inner tubes, the latter sitted on an aluminium rack with braces---but without shelves).

I did not find any observation that, once say the CD player nicely oscillates on the inner tubes, wiring can be a constraint (mains cable or interconnect cable). If a cable's tension is too high, the cable can limit the oscillation of the rig and the sound looses some air. Also, there is oscillation interplay between the devices.

Any suggestion or trick so to avoid this problem with cables? Note that the impact is more dramatic than the case in which the rig is on standard rigid shelves. So, the best I could find is to leave the cables loose, so that the oscillation of, say, the CDP (or of its mains cable due to sound virbations) does not cause too much oscillation of the pre, etc.

Thanks
Roberto
