If you are serious about 'isolation' there is only one way to go, but expensive at that. The solution? An electron microscope platform. The availability of such a device tells audio isolation is a sane practice, and necessary, you just need to find your 'cure' at a lower price. I have seen the electron platform at a medical research facility auction. I has impressed. It sold for $9700, as is. New it would cost about $30,000. But hey, if you spent $150,000 on your TT, whats another $30K. Enjoy the music.
Practicality of footers to isolate turntables.
Hallo everyone. I've just acquired my most recent tt/arm upgrade, and it's a keeper for life. As with all things audio, it's now time to tweak.
I've been getting into the concept of footers to isolate and drain unwanted vibrations, and Equarack stuff fits my budget nicely (Wave Kinetics/Magico just too pricey). However I can't see how the concept works with a tt that has a separate motor pod, surely there are balance issues for a start that don't apply to large boxes like amps etc.
My tt has three spiked feet which obv. can accommodate a footer each, but the motor pod is separate, triangular in plan, 5"-6" each side with slightly assymetric weight distribution.
Any solutions to this conundrum?
