dear all,
First a question: Among those reacting on this subject, how many of you actually experimented with cork ?
Secondly, for those who can't measure things, don't put them aside with he argument "this is no engineering", because obviously, if you can hear it, there must be a way to measure it, but how is the issue, not if.
Oh, and before asking, yes, I use cork, and not only to close wine-bottles.
best regards

Corked
Just what I remember from Faulty Towers
Customer: waiter this wine is corked!
Basil: yes the wine is uncorked
Customer: No, no I mean it tastes like cork, the cork has reacted with the wine.
Basil: Oooh, takes the glass and swallows the wine tasting it while making overly exaggerated poses.
Etc.

Hi,
This player has been well and truely 'corked'.
Looks like some wine went in there accidently aswell!

I couldn't make any sense of the reasoning for using corks through a website translator (German to English)
Any German speakers?
Kind regards,
Ashley.

He doesn't mention the use of cork. Reasoning for using it isn't really necessary if your ears are ok and you are using an even better system, is it? If you can't hear the induced differences, don't blame it on your cork
BTW I never tried cork, but i did experiment with other (cheap) materials. Just try it...

I used cork once, starting with some tweaking of gear, dampening of cabinet from a Kenwood cassette deck. Used wall decorating corksheets of 5 mm thick. So didn't take cork of chateau migraine.
No great improvement of sound.
But when i produced a new heavy flyweel on a lathe from massive brass instead of the standard thin pressed steel one, i heard a real improvement (less wow- flutter) Also new alignment of bias pots did a lot. Now is the cass. deck resting somewhere upstairs....

Hi all, I'd like to share my little experience.
Instead of damping all player, I damp only crystal. By de-solder crystal from PCB and re-connect to PCB with thiny and flexy wire.
This is to isolated the crytal from distrotion from PCB. However, I think, there still be some little distrotion via the connected wire.
So I reduce this distrotion by damp it with cotton wool, I wrapped it around the crystal. It easy and cheap. The result is good for me.
