These are replacements for the standard arm board stand offs as fitted to the Gyro SE, GyroDec and Orbe and are now fitted as standard. They incorporate rubber ‘O’ rings to help reduce coupling between the armboard and the main subchassis of the turntable. They give very worthwhile improvements to the overall sonic presentation and detail retrieval, reducing surface noise and especially improving high frequency performance.They are available in two versions, one for use with Rega arms (for the single bolt fixing and not the three point fixing) and one for SME arms (which also is suitable for many other arm types), the only difference being the termination of the earthing wire (the one photographed above left is for Rega based tonearms). This is necessary as the kit not only reduces mechanical coupling but also electrically insulates it too.
