Going to have to try this one out; thanks for the info.cloutier wrote:get eight ashtrays and a bag of rubber bands. wrap the rubberbands around the ashtrays to create a spring / suspension system that the decks and rest on and float. really helps with skipping and feedback, and its cheaper than buying isonoe feet for each deck.

I look forward to seeing what you guys use at The Bunker - I like the idea of using a more solid duct tape also. Thanks for your time.you might have too many rubber bands on there - it might just be another stiff foot for the tables to rest on. you want it to be a bit springy-er. i'll take photos of what we use at bunker in the front room this friday and show you what we have. its similar to yours - we use old rolls of duct tape with large rubber bands on it - but it floats a bit more and acts like a suspension.
regardless...let me know how those work, and i'll get photos of our bunker setup friday!
here ya go...

I'm only seeing this now. Thanks Eric. Those bad boys look heavy duty! They look great. I've since altered mine from the masking tape to ash trays and used fewer, thicker rubber bands. Haven't had a chance to check them out yet though... I also played about with one of my earth wires which I think may be dodgy.

ive been meaning to ask...what's everybodys thoughts on these?
Re: Eliminating turntable feedback (club environment)
absolutely horrible. they do help, yes, but its like you're djing with a rubber band. the decks bounce all over the fucking place when you try to cue, and they're not very stable or level.b-ran wrote:

Re: Eliminating turntable feedback (club environment)
played in a club lately where the subwoofers were kinda underneath the booth.. needle jumped several times during a record.. those absorber things helped hugely.. and they aren't shaky or whatsoever..
