should I suspend a floor-standing turntable?


Hey all, I have a Denon DP-300F turntable and I'm worried about vibrations. I live on the top floor of an apartment complex, and the floors are pretty bouncy. Would it be better to place the turntable on say, an end table or a desk rather than on the floor?

Thanks for reading. I wish I could place it on a wall-mounted stand, but I'm not allowed to mount anything to the walls here.

After you select one of the above options, if there is still any uncertainty whether you have overcome all manner of vibrations, there is one more inexpensive step that I have found to complete the job.
Try positioning three or four Cryo'ed hardened steel compression springs named "Cryo Baby Promethean Mini Isolators" (from Machina Dynamica) between the turntable bottom and the support surface of wood or granite. And/or try a set beneath the wood or granite, itself.
You are now better protected, and may proceed to engage in safe sound.
Listening to some favorite recordings will tell you whether each step you take toward better isolation is actually delivering more natural and satisfying audio in your system.
