Tuntable not working with wood floors..Help


Moved into a new (old) house, with wood floors and it is giving me a huge headache. I have my AR Turntable sitting on top of my rack, and it is absolutely unplayable. You can not even tip toe through the room with out the needle bouncing out of control. I placed a bike tube and a piece of glass underneath it, and it helped, but its still not playable. Here's what I need to know. 1) Would a new table help? The AR is set up so the platter and the arm float on the same suspension (which appears to be very loose), would a TT with a different design help/solve my problem. 2) If not the table, what can I do to get this thing to work? I am in college so $ is very slim (I am talking Ramen and Keystone slim). I don't think my landlord would be happy about mounting it on the wall, but I may take that chance if it comes to it. All advise is much appreciated!

You took the words right out of my moutn - try a wall mount, but make sure its a load bearing wall for best results.

The other option, which worked fairly well for me in the past, is to put the TT on a maple butcher block and put rollerblocks under that. Worked better than any other type of suspension that I tried. Inner tubes was the worst IMO.

Glad you found a solution that works for you.

Enjoy,
