Favorite Platform for Linn LP12

@mijostyn A good suspended turntable is like any other table...suspended or not, it will be subject to it surroundings..to a greater or lesser extent. Something you may have known IF you had any experience setting up turntables.

@dover, The last time you owned a Linn was by your own words---’back in the early 80’s’...enough said.

@dover   Do tell what turntable you are using...

If one uses a Trampolin 2 with their Linn, this tends to minimize the impact of what the table sits on. 

Don, if you have suspended floors, which do usually cause some issues with most turntables, I would suggest that for your Linn, not only do you look into the Tramp 2, but also a very light stand to sit the table on. Lightweight stands are usually best for the LP12. A wall shelf can be ideal, but it is usually a little difficult to get it perfectly level and again, as you are seeing, they can warp. There is no love for the LP12 on most forums these days, and this one is no exception. Usually we see folk who have absolutely no clue as to what the LP12 sounds like today in its current iteration, come out and naysay because a) they either last owned the table back in the early 80's...which now makes them Linn experts on all fronts...or b) they like a specific table ( submit any brand here including the Crossley) and are sure their favorite purchase easily beats the LP12, even though they have never heard an LP12! 

@no_regrets   Don, try sourcing a bamboo shelf. This is the newest shelf material for audio that is being used extensively now...and IME using it under a few pieces of gear, it works extremely well! Someone once said that bamboo is nature's carbon fibre! 

@radiohead99   I would suggest sourcing a lightweight rack for the Linn. Something like a used Target audio, or other small like kind rack. 

@no_regrets Nice. Symposium, as stated above, makes some great gear! Their racks have long been on my radar as a replacement should I move away from my current Sound Anchor. Great to hear their shelf works well under the little fruit box.

I used to use a Townsend Seismc Sink under my LP12. With very nice results. However, once I added the Tramp 2, the combo of Tramp 2 and Seismic sink was too much and the SQ suffered. I do think that with Tramp 2 the platform beneath the table can be of less importance, so long as it can be well leveled and isn't too prone to vibration.
