When I bought my trusty (vintage) Linn Basik/Akito some years ago I had put it on top of what I assumed was a reasonably stable gear rack…oops…bounced around like crazy (maybe my rack isn't so stable). I looked up the manual online and noted that Linn recommends a light weight low stable platform and I had one of those…little table, level, light, sturdy. Problem solved, and although the Basik utilizes only 3 large hollow rubber cones under it for damping, they are a brilliant design and the table sounds fabulous even though one of my subs is a few feet away from it. No feedback loop, no nuthin'.
Support table or shelf for turntable
I was hoping to replace my oak table with either a wall mounted shelf of a heavy steel table.
The reason is that I am finding that the oak is picking up and transmitting vibrations to the turntable, a Garrard 401 in a birch ply plinth. I am hoping to move to a slate plinth and wanted to maximize the support strength and reduce feedback.
Here is a link to the shelf and here is a link to the table. Both examples of what I'm looking at.
Shelf would be mounted to concrete wall. Table would stand on concrete floor.
Thanks.
