I was having vibration problems with my turntable lying upon a Levon equipment rack which is pretty sturdy but the floor is synthetic wood on I imagine concrete as it is the first floor of a three floor apartment complex . Even though my turntable is the suspensionless type very small movements on the base of the Levon would be picked up by the turntable smearing and distorting the sound .
I'm on a fixed income being retired so I was looking for an inexpensive solution if there was one . Saw at Walmart a wooden butchers block think it is maple about 1 1/2" thick and long and wide enough to acomodate my turntable with some space to put my turntable accesories as cleaning brush and what have you . They whole affair for 15.00 on special I admit .
Got me some Sorbothane round pucks , 6 of them for 32.00 dollars ( googled it and found them ) . Took the pucks and accomodated them two at the time in a triangular configuration under the butchers block .
Behold a miracle happened . Now I can literally strike with force the base of the Levon with absolutely no problem . The turntable is now totally inmune to vibrations . All for less then 50.00 dollars , and it looks good as the block looks as if it were made for the turntable .
I don't know if it will work with a suspension turntable but the physics involved tells me it should . Take care and let us know how you solved the problem . Stay face brother .
