Re: [ARSCLIST] Effect of vibrations on audio tape

Speaking of interference, our campus is about a mile from the Santa 
Barbara airport. We get interference from the airport radar (we think). 
It's cyclical and we've ruled out just about everything else (elevators, 
fluorescent lights). It's only picked up by things that are microphonic 
like phono cartridges and doesn't affect the shielded balanced lines. If 
you listen very, very carefully to our cylinders you might be able to 
hear it.

Jim Wheeler once suggested that we line the studio with that copper 
sheeting with holes in it like the door of a microwave oven. We never 
did this, but I'm open to suggestions.
