Suspension vs. non-suspension turntables???

What do you have or plan for a TT stand? Is the floor concrete or framing?

As Dougdeacon said in so many words, both approaches have their good and not so good points. But, for instance, if you have an extreme case of the "house shakes" then that might lead one to think in terms of a suspended table.

I have both, an MMF 7 with a V15VxMR and a Basis 2001 with a Vector\Glider. (It's not really fair to compare them against each other.) Either design will work for me as my listening room is in a finished basement with a concrete floor and almost no traffic, unless you count the farmer's cows plodding around in the field behind my house. The Basis is setting on a reclaimed sewing machine cabinet, light but very sturdy. The MMF 7 will soon be sitting on much more substantial, heavily damped table as I move my non-suspended TT towards a Teres. I can say that the Basis with the Vector is very dynamic to me, almost scary. I have yet to hear a Teres or any other well made non-suspension table so I won't offer an opinion as to how much more dynamic one is over the other.

I'm just offering an example here. But as with everything in this hobby, YMMV.

Dougdeacon,

I still have it on my todo list to get down your way for a listen. I'm helping my son and his girl friend move back up from New Jersey next month. We usually travel the Merritt Pkwy so it wouldn't be too much of a detour. I'll give you plenty of warning if I can make it happen. Hey, the cows are pretty good neighbors. They don't complain when I crank up the music and I don't complain when they bawl at 3 a.m.

Esoxhntr,

Where is your table in relation to the subs? I'm wondering if the problem may be airborne vibrations. My 10t's pack a hefty bass slam but I haven't noticed any issues with my tables. They sit to the left of the speakers, but farther down the wall from the first reflection point.

Also I am wondering if the studs in your basement are even in contact with the concrete walls. My basement is very much the same with the three concrete walls and the forth is framed as it is a walkout. We framed it 3 inches inside the concrete walls to keep moisture from wicking into the studs and insulation. You may also want to check how the walls are fastened at the top. If they just nail to the joists then there is no load to help damp things. Your wall stand may work better on the outside, load bearing wall. Just another guess.
