Home Theater - June 2007

Are you a vinyl lover? Then you know the frustration of having a record skip because of heavy vibrations in the floor. Not only does it interfere with your music-listening experience, but it can damage your records. Minus K presents an intriguing solution with their bench-top vibration-isolation platforms, which use NASA technology. While their platforms are commonly used in scientific labs, the BM-8 model is well suited for stabilizing audio components like turntables and tube amps. The BM-8 provides a o.5-hertz resonant frequency vertically and 1.5 Hz horizontally. It measures 18 by 20 inches, with a height of 4.6 inches, and you can place it on any flat tabletop surface. Pricing starts at $2,400. Minus K Technology • (310) 348-9656 • www.minusk.com
