Linn Sondek Isolation


Hi All,

I recently acquired a mid-80's Sondek. It's being tuned and will be back in my eagerly waiting hands in a few days. I will be putting the table in small wood audio cabinet.

Do I need to set the table on isolation feet or perhaps the entire audio cabinet?

Thanks,

Tim

Don't listen to Buconero, but Schipo, Stanwal, Theo and Palewin are all correct.
Normansizemore, using an LP12 on a very high mass stand is like pouring gas into the fuel tank of a diesel car and then complaining the car wouldn't run properly. It needs to be on a light 'table or, ideally, a wall shelf. I had a Sondek on a wall shelf 75' from a diesel train track and the LP12 NEVER skipped, even as the whole place shook as the train went by.
Hey Norman, hopefully you've upgraded your dealer as well as the turntable! It is not your job to think of a lighter table, any Linn dealer would know that. Or did they sell you that used and are not trained by Linn?
