A lot of good comments, but one is missing, so I will add it. Acoustic shield around the table. The sound engery that is in the room will directly impact the table, arm and cartridge. Play some music in the room from a different source and put your finger on the pith, arm and cartridge. You are bound to feel the vibration the acoustic engery that is flowing all over the TT. Just think what is happening when you are actually playing a record, the speakers vibrate via acoustic engery everything. In the interest of full disclosue, I am in the process of marketing 'acoshield', the solution to fixing this problem.
Turnable Rack Vibration
Hi,
I recently moved my Audio equipment to a VTI rack system. As part of the change by Linn LP12 moved from a Target wall shelf to the top shelf of the VTI.
The move has made the turntable far more susceptible to floor and foot fall vibrations... disappointingly and annoying so.
I would like some recommendations on effective vibration isolation for the turntable chassis. I have a 1/2" slab of granite that i am thinking of placing the turntable on and separating the granite from the top shelf of the rack with a series of isolators.
Has anyone had experience with this setup and what isolators would they recommend?
Of course i am also open to any other suggestions on how to best isolate the top shelf for the rest of the components.
Thanks
Neil
