Turntable isolation platform Recommendations?

+1 SRA-Silent Running Audio platform.
Recommended to me by Ralph Karsten, my Ohio Class platform under my Woodsong Garrard 301 was transformative. The improvement in SQ was huge. SRA builds these platforms to specifically function for the component. They allow the TT to fully function as designed. As they do with preamps, amps, electron microscopes, MRI units, nuclear submarines, etc. SRA’s upper line are actually named Ohio Class and Virginia Class. And the entry level, also great, VR platform in only $1500. The only issue is that they are so back ordered it takes many months to get one.

Symposium Ultra Stealth is my top pick also Silent Running Ohio Class these are by far the best.For the performance price is reasonable on both.

Thanks for all the great information about the platform. I am carefully observing all the feedback. I just wanted to add that the structure of the listing room is on a concrete slab with one wall in standard red brick with the ceiling and remaining three walls are old school plaster. Floor is carpeting. 

You have no point. Just more blovient drek. You only make excuses when called out for your misinformed imperialistic opinions, period.
See, where did I even say I needed anything under or on or what rack stand I have. Your last post explicitly shows your inability to be inclusive of anything if it isn’t Chakster approved without any knowledge or experience on it....even when your own table contradicts the statements you make. Hindsight is 20 / 20 but having to BS shuffle explain your own statements constantly is just blind ignorance. If you had of thought of the springs in your table you wouldn’t of put your foot in your mouth and your head in the other end. Absurd..... still laughing at you thinking slate is graphite....

I did not get anything you posted.

Graphite is the color/finishing and the plinth in another thread was recommended due its DESIGN (not material), in every links I posted about "graphite plinth" in another thread you can clearly read "slate plinth". Maybe you can’t read? Something funny here? 

I wish others to find a properly designed turntable first to save on additional springs and isolation.

A good turntable isolated by designer who made a turntable with integrated plinth using feet and various damping materials. It's a final product. 

Always the mine is better BS , it’s the one constant you bring. Reality is.....you don’t. You have opinions based on your narrow view of the world according to you while dismissing all others and their choices. 

I can advice something only from my perspective and from my point of view, with my experience with many turntables. A bit of common sense always nice to add somethimes. 

I know , I know more than you ever will on many things audio and analog.....only because I learn from others experiences by listening to them ,and trying through experience.... while you disrespect and dismiss them for having differing views and tastes and ignorant of their needs and insulting their choices. 

You are just a snob if you post stuff like this.

Industry professional have been using turntables for over 40 years without any esoteric solutions. Look at the best broadcast studios.

Audiohiles like you always trying to hear that nobody can hear, they are trying to make things much more complicated for people who don't need it. 

Stop being an f n blowhorn and be inclusive and respectful of and to others. Or just keep driving people off here .... Thats the saddest part...everyone loses because of one pufferfish...

I could explain who you’re very simple in a few words, but I do not insult people on audiogon like you do now.

By the way, my tables are all sitting on one wall rack that runs 8ft along an outside wall at 4ft above the floor for convenience. I don’t have the issues some have by design and set up and table choices.

I have mine on heavy metal rack placed on wooden floor for decades, no issues at all. All turntable are direct drive from Victor, Denon, Technics, Luxman. Look, I don’t have to destroy my walls, rack can be always placed on the floor (very simple, you know).

But I know they exist and I know there is many more options and reasons and price points than just your narrow view for others to march too. Name dropping middle of the road models and brands like its the gold standard,..... then call others choices as toys and wastes of money...criticizing what you don’t own or know about in ignorance... it gets old the first time...let alone the thousandth..... now since you like to brand and model drop....I think I’ll switch to the P3 Exclusive tonight and pine my regret for letting my PD 444 go 4 decades ago ..... sleep tight Sheldon...😏

If funny when you think other people choices can hurt me, I am happy for your more expensive Pioneer P3, this is a very good example of properly isolated turntable and don’t tell me you need anything else under this turntable for better isolation, except for a proper rack or, if you wish, a wall mount. If you sold your less expensive Luxman turntable 40 years ago, how old are you ?

Enjoy what you have....sincerely...you can’t be enjoying or buying your own BS if you need to beat everything else down, ignorant of even how often you contradict yourself here...

Old people are like children sometimes, very sensitive.

I will continue to by my own BS because the BS people are using here is the worst SB or too expensive BS. If a user need a pyramid of materials like butcher blocks, additional springs, spikes, bearings and all that stuff together then turntable design is 100% BS, let’s face it.

My philosophy is very simple: Buy a nice turntable, put it on a hi-fi rack or on a nice table and enjoy the music!

Everybody can watch Chad Kassem and his mastering console at Asoustic Sounds for A/B comparison, do you see any isolation or springs under turntables, except for a massive wood table? Properly designed turntable must be placed direct on the table or rack. Here is an example of my custom made rack (not pained) for Luxman turntable, but I think everyone can make a custom rack for whatever turntable, but rack must be heavy, all those butcher blocks are too light, all those springs are unstable and turntable is shaking.
