Julian,

I use them under both depending on the table and how the feet are designed.

I was thinking of these a bit differently. I have an old Panasonic turntable which has a belt driven platter and little to no noise dampening. When I crank up the volume on my amp, I can feel the record player body vibrate. As I crank up the volume more, a heavy low-pass section of the record plays and all of a sudden I have massive feedback coming thru the speakers. Is this vibration thru the floor or thru the air causing the high-volume feedback? Do I use these pucks under the speakers or the turntable? I’m at a loss on how to fix this issue.

They do look like they’d work under turntables – and a set of 8 would be perfect for a 2 table dj set up. (though I know IsoAcoustics makes dedicated turntable solutions as well)

After getting over my initial skepticism, I ordered some IsoAcoustics stands for the JBL monitors on my desk and have been a giant fan ever since. Bass tightens and deepens, midrange is cleaner and more detailed, and image is more precise and stable…and not just a little. Until you damp down cabinet resonance, you don’t know what kind of speakers you really have. Chances are you have a better pair that you think you do, even if they sit atop premium stands or spikes. ANY new speakers I buy in the future will always sit on IsoAcoustics products.

I’m eager to read about what difference these pucks make under sources and amplification. I’ll bet turntables and tube preamps benefit the most. We’ll see.

They look cool. Just like nicer looking cables, they look cool. If I wanted something to look cooler (e.g., book shelf speakers) then I might buy these.

But I shall not because they do not look cool enough for me to spend money on. My son just spent $30 on a short pair of cool looking and twist locking RCA cables. They have the benefit of clamping down on his desk top setup and work at what they claim to do, which is to say clamp down that which they are connected to on both ends. And look cool doing it.

If I were a rich toad? Maybe. But only because they look cool. Beauty is in the eye of beholder but functioning as promised is either there or it is not. I dare say this just look cool.

It is like when I went to T.H.E. and a person asked if I wanted to “listen” to their cables. I picked up a couple of them, held them to my ear and paused for a few seconds before putting them back down and said, “I do not even hear the ocean”…

But they did look cool. 😉
