Title: Anti-vibration mounting do it yourself
Post by: kagliostro on December 23, 2020, 10:16:05 am
I've just seen this DIY anti-vibrating mounting solution and I've find it nice

think to those circuits that uses pentodes in V1

so I want to share with you

(ORings can also be the black version and the number can be set at your require)

Very heavy Rube influence. I'll wait to see pics of your first project to use this. Actually, I'd like to see any pics of a real project that uses this.

I think you can play with the numbers of the O Ring and also with the kind of O Ring

at the same diameter they can be more or less sturdy

As is in number of O Ring and dimensions it seems it is planned more for an HiFi amp than an instrument amp

My next build, if required, will have a different solution (planned some time ago)

something like this

I must specify that for Noval sockets I've rubber mounted Geloso NOS sockets

the problem is to find Octal anti Vibration sockets

looking for a very log time for them

I've find only one time a pair of very nice ones, but also very expensives and didn't got it

Why the need these anti-vibration mounting ?

You want to built a tubes amp to use on a Off -road truck ?

Why not hang the frame in the cabinet with 4 big rubber or springs?

that's how we did turntables at Sea,
fast-forward to the early '90s, used the method again with portable CD players and off road jeeps  :icon_biggrin:

not all wheels work "the same"
I blew out a 33" on my jeep and had to drive 3 hours on the stock 26" spare.  top speed ~~ 20mph and even the gimbaled CD player didn't like the KAthunk, KAthunk as I rolled on down the road  :icon_biggrin:

what we ended up with for shock mounting - the socket used is a NOS amphenol top-mount with a very thick body. the amp is a parallel 6V6 SE based on the 1948 supro: same amp in this DSE thread (https://el34world.com/Forum/index.php?topic=26868.0). the cork actually helps with resonance/microphonics. that meatball RCA 6SJ7 tiene mucho mojo amigos. the mismatched 6V6 add some character to the tone. the OT is an Edcor USA made GXSE 2.5KΩ:4Ω model before they started using end bells on the entire GX line.
