DIY Isolation Device Selling a DIY Damping Box to control Chassis Vibration in audio components. Basically a Japanese Knife Box filled with Atacama Atabites (zinc metal shavings) to weigh 1.2 KG. Looks great and does the job required. The Damping Box measures 23cm by 9 cm by 3cm .FREE SHIPPING throughout Australia is included.Cheers Condition: Excellent Payment Method: EFT or Pay Pal Region/State: (QLD) Queensland/Australia By 075Congo 0 Comments Secure Ad AUD $45 Date: January 23Jan 23
That looks like a strong bargain at A$45: it sits well below the A$295 25th percentile and is only a fraction of the A$304 median and A$579 75th percentile from your recent AUD comps. On your own market anchor, this is priced aggressively enough to be an easy yes if it’s complete and genuinely in excellent condition.
The upside here is simple: this kind of isolation accessory is a practical buy for improving turntable or component decoupling without spending much, and the low entry price makes it low-risk. If the feet, hardware, or any original parts are included, that only improves the value; at this price, I’d mainly just confirm it’s stable, level, and matches your rack or component footprint.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Atacama Audio traces its origins to 1969 in the UK, initially operating as Sambell Engineering Ltd with a focus on aerospace engineering alongside firms like Rolls Royce. The company pivoted to hi-fi in 1987, leveraging expertise in aluminium to pioneer innovative legs and feet for equipment racks. Evolving from tempered glass shelves to superior oak and bamboo with curved designs and spiked isolation, Atacama refined its approach through decades of hands-on development.
The brand specializes in hi-fi furniture and supports, including award-winning speaker stands, modular racks, and AV platforms that prioritize both aesthetics and acoustic performance. Drawing on vibration control principles, these products enhance system clarity without venturing into amplifiers, speakers, or source components like turntables and DACs.
Positioned as a mid-tier leader in the niche of hi-fi furniture, Atacama enjoys strong UK recognition for over 30 years of reliable, customizable solutions favored by enthusiasts seeking optimal setups. Its in-house design and manufacturing underscore a commitment to practical excellence over high-end exotica.
