i was just curious , i have a vpi classic jmw 10 and a micro benz / ace also |
Audiopoint
i just may line that up with you . I have to say i like your moxy |
Hickory is denser for whatever thats worth or not vs resonating frequency
|
Thanks ohlala
I have a freind who just had some amazing countertops made with this hickory ,and i said to myself hmmm and he said he has a 30"x24" peice left and well i think i might buy it off him.It's gorgeous and different.Seems to me denser would vibrate at higher frequency but hey i have really no idea honeslty .lol |
topchopbutcherblock.com
is where i got mine 18"x24" maple freeship and i put it on spikes then mounted to wall on steel brace 6" thick solid pine timeberframe wall.The maple is just interesting,I just wondered if anyone had noticed any discernable difference the the hard woods . |
Engineeringtoolbox.com has charts of every wood |
The site i found and mentioned above sells wood 2" for a reasonable price if anyone wants to try a test or whatever . i used to fab corian for a living years ago personally i didnt like it under my table i had an lp12 back then and also a vpi hk |
Corian is a very dense material i fabbed it for many year when i was a woodworker . I think it becomes a personal choice of sound and ascetics.. |

we have seasoned 3'x4' 2" thick top on our prep island in the kitchen ..hmmmmmm :) |
asvjerry,
isolation yes....
looks? sorry but yes again....
nuetral or even slightly warm yes again..
I use to be a woodworker among other things,i still have freinds who do corian,granite etc on the east coast but the cost to ship is wicked out west. alot of these companies ship cutting boards for free custom sizes.
I do like the look of wood all my other stand shelves are blackand steel.. |
Yes and that pairing or tuning to your setup .. Which varies .. I may try walnut it matches my classic and walmounted on steel with spikes and my classics feet i doubt my beat up ears will hear any difference between almost any in this mount .. Jmho .. |
ebm
They are beautiful and i'm sure amazing.I am haveing problems finding pricing on them.I have a nice system to me but i would say modest around these parts.although i am sitting down ; )
|
inna i was joking ..
bdp i have built my entire system to be as nuetral as possible.Personnally just my opinion ,i doubt i would notice or hear a difference in almost any material with the mounting i have.and you are correct i do not want the platform to do anything other then look good and not add anything.Thats why i was asking about the hickory i had a line on it cheap .I would perfer walnut as my classic is walnut.But i am searching out granite, corian or wood options(honestly i would perfer it to be black so i may stain or paint it ).I have 6"thick walls and a steel wallmount stand with massive isolation..my floors are rock solid i can have my table on top of my stand shelf mdf (spiked and filled with sand) and jump on my floor and nothing comes through my table.with it on the wall i could sit on the shelf .i was just curious on opinions thats all .. |
I will check it out . I am not having any problems with vibration that i can discern .. I am still using my stock classic feet and my wood is on spikes then wall mounted obviously sound travels everwhere but i'm not experiencing any audible vibrations .. |
interesting ,geo
thanks for the information,i am humbled by the level of knowledge around here. |
I understand your comment . I respect it and it all makes sense , but at what level are we talking "the absolute discerning ear"on the absolute set up .. For me personnally i live 3 hrs from an airport on my large off grid ranch , tremours yes occasionally. I believed at a point
(chosen by each individual and the finances) you have to concede to what your level of performance needs to be . I believe my setup is pretty bitchin and the entire room is setup for 2:1 and two listeners . To most people who come to my place im frikin nuts , at some point i have to say " my table sounds pretty dam good" and get some more music.i understand others have different opinions and there setup show this . I guess one mans floor is another’s ceiling.. I do like the ultra stealth ebm spoke of but i can’t find pricing. At some point isn't the vibration going to travel onto the cantilever or arm just through the air ? |
I will ...i have a very rigid wallmount and am ready to install whatever on top of it and under my table
i know i may sound cheap but i really dont want to spend more then 500 on the platform new or even better used .. I would rather spend the money on lp . My tt sounds great or great to me already .i am moving it from my stand to my wall
|
Bdp are you saying the iso platform directly on my wallmount steel arms ? Or a platform of wood or granite then replace my classic's feet with the pods .. Im interested |
Geo or bdp or anyone .
Would this addition (feet iso ...) have any relevance if this was through headphones or at low levels ? I do not have a headphone setup i was just curious |
|
|
geoff
are you offering feet at this time?
|
Geoff.
Where can i see these ? ..Pics etc |
I also read star sounds both drastically different. I have idea send me both and i will demo them both 😁 |
Wow Ht
1st off this is the anolgue forum .. Digital is over that way 👈 . I have digital also . A pretty decent digital at that ,and they isolate digital dac and transports too ( all gear )and it also makes a difference .. We all have opinions i do not agree with yours .. And personnally 98% of what i listen to is pre 1990 ✊ |
Interesting conversation. Geoff i read your entire website .. You have some tweeks for sure ! If my classic is roughly 50 lbs what springs should i try ?. I saw light and heavy spring ? I am interested in your springs and seeing your platform . I can honestly say i dont have the skillset to comment on this level .It seems as though you have quite the credentials , I have had iso platforms and most types of iso over the years . I have not tried springs . I almost bought a tnt srung table awhile back .. Thanks to all for there comments i enjoy reading this thread . |
I will get a weight on my sub and i am gonna try your setup on my classic ..springs should be ok on my carpet i have berber with thick pad ? Thanks for all the input |
Geoff
As opposed to leaving the original feet to platform then your springs ? I think the springs would also be interesting under my sub . Again will the carpet and padding pose a problem for the springs? My sub is 38lbs |
i'm interested geoff ,as for my classsic i would remove my feet and place the springs under? How do i address leveling ?. I am also considering trying these under my sub any thoughts ...

thanks . I was under the belief this forum discussion i started would give me some insight on what others are using over the years . Some tweeks are well " too out there for me " but isolating vibration from my turntable is not nor is adding sound deadning in my room or studio or upgrading cables etc to a point . I never understand why some of the " hyper elite" are so judgmental nor the novice are so unwilling to try things and decide for themselves . Perfect example does my tt sound better when it is isolated better . Yes ive proven it . Do my spkr sound better firmly planted .yes ive proven it . Does my digital sound better with a better cable .. Yes ive proven it . Does my hollowbody gretch sound different then my prs mcarty yes. My tube marshall over a peavy again yes .. Thanks for your input |
Ht thanks for your input .. I asked the question and started this discussion of which many people voiced there opinions . I am a musician of over 30 yrs and been into audio gear for longer . I'm a big boy and have made my share of mistakes with snake oil . I have personnally heard changes using different tweeks ie cables iso ac lines etc . So i do not agree with your opinion nor that of many others here at times .You have spoken your point and beliefs thank you for your insight . There is no need really for anymore bashing. You can start your own forum for that if you wish .. |
Nothing yet .. I still am using my classic in mdf with spikes under it . Chewing on options |
I have had great success ditching the mdf and i replaced the shelves with 1/2 "thick steel then audiopoints ,stand is filled with micro ball bearings on audiopoints again i use them on everything including my furman p2400 which is also outboard on 3/4 "steel with audiopoints same for my outboard power supply from my amp |
