the tt should be on a heavy solid rack and then isolated from the top shelf. if you have a wood floor you place the rack 4-6 inches from the wall and using a wood braket attach the top or second shelf to the wall. both the wall and floor vibrate at opisite times so they will cancil each other out. there are many isolation shelves out there use the heaviest you can afford. the weight helps to cut dowm sound wave vibration and isolaters stop the vibration from the other equipment on the rack. i do not understand the wall shelf. the walls receive the largest amount of air wave vibration, plus even the best wall shelf is FLIMSY at best. carter9000 move that table behind the speaker using the rack system described, you want it as close as you can get to phono and line amps. VIBRATION is what it is all about, everthing in music is created and destroyed by vibration, the entire high end is based on controling vibration.
Best location setup of turntable
I have a pair of Tyler Taylo 7U speakers, Thorens TD145MKii, ClearAudio Microbasic phono preamp, and 55W Chinese built tube amp.
What would be a good (or best) location of the turntable?
Currently it is sitting on the bare wood floor in between an audio rack and the right speaker in my living room (20x25). The distance to the rack is about 3" and to the right speaker is about 10".
I tried to sit the turntable on top of the audio rack, but the vibration is much worse than just let it sitting on the bare floor. I tried to put the turntable on top of a sandbag, but it did not help much to reduce the rambling/distortion (or whatever you call) when the volume goes of 12 o'clock.
Any suggestion?
Would isolator help? What kind isolator would be good (Well under $100)?
Thanks for your opinion in advance.
