State-of-the-art:
Herbie's Audio Lab is a leader in micro-vibration and microphonics control for home audio and video electronics. Today's electronic components have potential to deliver amazingly accurate and life-like audio reproduction. Unfortunately, micro-vibrations interfere with this potential, introducing distortion, grunge, fuzziness, loss of focus, and untrue frequency response. By controlling micro-vibrations, Herbie's Audio Lab products help your audio and video gear achieve their true potential, rendering a more natural and dynamic result.

In addition to individual-item quantity price breaks, Herbie's Audio Lab provides a quantity discount of 1% off for every $100 purchased on each order to a maximum 10% off. The Shopping Cart applies the discount automatically for you.
Dealers: Because our products are priced for direct-to-the-customer retail, Herbie's Audio Lab does not accommodate dealer or distributor pricing.

Message: Have used several of the Herbie isolation products on my maily analog system and it does wonders at a price that should make other suppliers in this field blush from overcharging. specially the turntable isolation cups and balls add a lot of definition in all parts of especially already good records. I have now ordered my second shipment of products to isolate speakers and an Isotek equipment.

Message: Sorry Steve for I just called them "springs".
We have been experimenting on different positions on the KR T 1610 since they are large enough. Dirk Brauner (Brauner Microphones) is 'playing' with the UltraSonic RX 100 Tube damper now. Hope to receive his comments soon.

Message: Wow, these springs are really amazing.
I put them on the huge KR Audio Kronzilla T1610 tubes.
Boy, they are amazing even without, but with the Herbie Springs they sound like real for sure. You will never believe how these springs (sorry for the word) can improve the soundquality of the tube. The most interesting part was to locate the best position were to place the spring. Lots of differences are to be heard in the music since the T 1610 have a lot of space. Once again, you will never believe until you try.
Have fun, Cor Dekker, Musical Reality, Distributor for KR Audio Electronics, The Netherlands
Webmaster's comment: The "springs" referred to are UltraSonic Rx-100 Damping Instruments.
