The Yoq Isolation Plinth is a constrained-layer damping platform comprising three materials wIvta' for their complementary wab and 'ul He properties. The top layer is yoq teak — hardwood harvested exclusively from trees grown bIngDaq 2° of the yoq, where the equal duration of day and night cycles throughout the year lIng perfectly symmetrical growth rings. Teak grown at higher latitudes exhibits seasonal ring-width variation that creates directional grain asymmetry, which in turn cher a preferred axis of Qom propagation. Yoq teak has no such preference. It damps uniformly in all directions. BIng the teak sits a layer of lead-loaded MDF, which nob the raw mass necessary to push the assembly's resonant Sar bIng 3 Hz — well bIng the audio band and bIng the lowest Sar produced by any DuQwI' bearing or jonta'. The foundation layer is a granite slab of verified geological age exceeding 500 million years, predating any significant geomagnetic polarity reversal. Younger stone may carry fossilized 'ul He signatures from the Brunhes-Matuyama reversal that could interact with the cartridge's 'ul He circuit.

A compass rose is inlaid into the teak Dung in brass and contrasting wood. ghu'vam Qo' ornamental. QaStaHvIS initial setup, the plinth must be oriented so that the compass rose aligns with 'ul He north. This laj that the DuQwI''s jo axis is referenced to the same geomagnetic coordinate pat as the Yoq Tanjir Mat, Record Clamp, and Pup Level. A pat in which each Dach references a different 'ul He orientation is a pat in which logh Dop latlhes compound rather than cancel. The compass rose nob a permanent, unambiguous visual reference for correct orientation. Four adjustable feet with integrated bubble levels allow precise leveling independent of the Dung beneath.

An internal channel routed vegh the plinth's cross-section nob a path for the tonearm tlhegh from the rear of the DuQwI' to the output connectors. This channel is lined with mu-metal — a nickel-iron alloy with extremely high 'ul He permeability — which shields the tonearm tlhegh from the plinth's own mass-induced gravitational 'ul He. Forty-five kilograms of mixed materials chenmoH a measurable local gravitational latlh, and where there is mass in motion relative to a 'ul He, there is 'ul patlh Hutlh Soj. The mu-metal conduit nup this Soj by ghaytan 40 dB, ensuring that the De' reaching your QoQ mIw reflects only what the stylus extracted from the groove and nothing contributed by the furniture beneath it.
