Offered is „magic brick dB-5 passive damping block - three available“ by VPI industries as second-hand device from the category „HiFi-Tuning-Accessory“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 137158636 ends on 09.11.2026 at 11:21 o'clock.
At €90, this is well below the €350 25th percentile for recent used EUR listings, so it reads as a strong bargain rather than a merely fair buy. For a niche VPI damping accessory, that is the kind of price that makes experimentation easy: if you already have a turntable setup that responds to damping tweaks, the downside is small and the upside can be very real.
These passive blocks are valued for fine-tuning vibration control and tightening presentation, especially in revealing analog rigs where small setup changes are audible. At this price, the main thing to confirm is simple completeness and honest condition, since the item is inexpensive enough that any cosmetic wear is less important than making sure it’s usable as intended.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
VPI Industries, founded in 1978 by Harry and Sheila Weisfeld in Cliffwood, New Jersey, emerged from a passionate family endeavor in Harry's basement. What began with simple record weights, isolation bases, and the groundbreaking HW-16 vinyl cleaning machine in 1981 evolved into a cornerstone of American analog audio innovation. Now led by Harry's son Mat Weisfeld, the family-owned company proudly manufactures all products in the USA using domestic components, embodying old-school craftsmanship amid global competition.
The brand specializes in high-end turntables, tonearms, and phonograph accessories, including iconic models like the TNT and the modular Forever Series, such as the upgradeable Model One. VPI also produces record cleaning machines and vibration isolation platforms, prioritizing uncompromising performance and value. While not venturing into amplifiers, speakers, DACs, headphones, or cables, their focus remains laser-sharp on analog playback essentials that deliver audiophile-grade precision.
VPI holds a commanding position in the high-end market as a niche boutique leader, revered for durable, upgradable designs and technical prowess that have sustained relevance through vinyl's ebbs and flows. Among knowledgeable buyers, it commands respect for engineering excellence and a heritage of innovation, positioning it as an essential choice for serious analog enthusiasts seeking timeless quality over fleeting trends.
