Title: scuba lead weight helping with microphonics
Post by: rogerfederer on January 22, 2015, 08:06:58 AM
i've found the microphonics issue tough to deal with.  finally got some suggestions on this board to try adding weight to the top plate.  a 3 lb hand weight worked very well but was awkward.  just got this:

has a nice indentation so it fits right on top of the power trafo.  so far i'm getting none of those nasty noises!
