@islandmandan Thanks Dan. I’ll look into your suggestion. Although, with the new slate, when it arrives in a few weeks, I was hoping for something less massive and "constructed"... trying to keep it simple. Taut and rigid. The good news is that I have procured an Audio Grail 401 for the slate plinth. |
Thanks everyone for the valued suggestions. I’ll study up in more detail all the notes kindly supplied. Thanks. A few points to clarify:
|
@islandmandan Yes, I know that the slate will not isolate the table. I want to try the slate plinth as I believe that the birch-ply, while excellent at damping TT generated noise, is also responsible for a little smearing and subsequent loss of some detail. The relatively difficult, and frankly, cumbersome efforts to isolate the table can be ameliorated by wall mounting to concrete and keeping the structural hardware to a minimum. |
When I receive the slate plinth for the AudioGrail 401 in the coming month, I’ll try it on a wall (reinforced concrete basement pour), on the concrete floor (4"), on the oak table, and on a light metal Linn style stand. My intention is to spike and tight everything possibly on granite slab. East Coast-not many tremors! I’ll also try maple, springs and sorbothane for the hell of it. I’ll report back. [Edit: Maybe also the sandbox as suggested by @islandmandan for whom I have respect.] Thanks all. |
