I have some Polk stuff and other things that are FREE.

It’s a simple pencil and screwdriver thing.

There are 3 pairs, first come first served. I’ll cover mailing them.

I also have some dampers I picked up along the way.
The ridged foam, no idea where I got them. FREE.

The other hard rubber dampers are nice. I was told they’re used under
Air Conditioners/ HVAC to reduce vibration. I think WWaldecker gave a bunch of us at a Polkfest. FREE

    Are the black and blue ones too dense to use under a tt?

    I wouldn’t use them on a TT. I’ve had great success using Bright Star Audio. Probably have 3-4 of their lineup. Lead filled and an air bladder design, great stuff.

    The Waldecker pads have been snapped up. Done.

    I’m just saying that I wouldn’t, not that you couldn’t.

    All the pencil/ screwdriver combos are accounted for TY.

    The blue/ black isolators are accounted for as well.

    The silicon tube condoms have been handled.

    All I have left for FREE at this point, is the yellow/ orange isolators. They’re not pretty. I guess but if you’d like to make your own opinion, in regards to isolation theory or idea...I think you’d be hard pressed and closed up to deny the word FREE. Good luck in all you do.

    Im fairly certain you’re gonna have this and that’s what I’m talking about. Audio is a hobby that’s cool to hoard until you can’t find more boxes. I’m sure there’s more but I doubt it. Keep on keeping on.

    But isn't your plinth made of, like, solid lead? They would be useful on that because of the weight. On something lighter, they'd be like blocks of wood.

    For something like a 90 pound SVS subwoofer, they would work great as the level of energy needed to vibrate something like that is what they were designed for.

    They aren't expensive, though, about $10-$15 a pair and you can probably get away with one pair and cut them down with saw. So if somebody wants them, this is what you are looking for:

    They aren't the prettiest things in the world but they are effective. I used them under a 60 gallon air compressor in the shop to keep it from vibrating the floor around it.

    The silicon rings left...does anyone want these other feet? If not I’m just gonna throw them in the trash.

    I think they would be great between components for more breathing space and so easy to paint black. Maybe even replace some hard feet under a component with those.

    I would paint and use them sometime in the future but I want somebody else that could use them to chime in and get them. They look like great spacers.
