Have any of you seen or used this Isolator found on Agon?

I'm thinking of something similar with Plasti-clay in the sandwich. This may be a good idea for those who have concerns about adding the Longhorn to their moving coil cart.

Have never seen or used one. I need to get my tt working again. Haven't played any records since my move over 2 years ago  :(

Looks like it should sell for $25 tops. You can implement the Longhorn mod for a helluva lot less than $150.00. The thickness may cause alignment problems with some arm/cartridge combos too, I would think.

I don't think this cartridge isolator is a good idea.  I think it would absorb energy from the record source rather than generating music.  I suggest the cartridge arm interface should be rigid and inert, not soft and yielding.
