Wether you want it or not, when you are playing somewhere where the music is loud, you will always have feedback. No matter how well you isolate your turntable. In fact, isolating the decks is to prevent rumble not feedback.
The needle will pick up all kinds of vibration. Just put a record on, don't let it spin, and tap with your finger somewhere on the turntable. You will definately hear this amplified. So when the needle picks up the bass vibrations from the speakers, this is feedback. You can even shout to the needle when it's on a (stopped) record and if you record that you will hear it. You can already hear the difference when playing vinyl and CDs. CDs sound less "deep" on the dancefloor.

Most places Ive played try and isolate the decks to avoid this. In fact I dont think Ive ever seen anyone with a set up designed to leverage any bass feedback - how could you ever ensure the feedback was stable ?? If you were that bothered you could always pre-process your mp3's with some feedback I guess ? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- This message is intended only for the personal and confidential use of the designated recipient(s) named above.
