Turntable platforms Halcyonics/MinusK/vibraplane


I have a turntable with an external motor (TW Raven AC) and wondered what the right way to use one of these "lab quality" platforms is... do you keep the motor pod on the same platform with the table. That would seem right to me, as you seek to isolate the entire system, not just one element of the system.

It's a bit of an academic questions, but arises b/c the only platform that suits my living area (aesthetics) is the Halcyonics "Silencer" which is 19wx17"d, so not nearly big enough to hold the entire table, as my motor is in the back and really needs about 22" depth though width is fine.

As an alternative, I could create a piece of slate that runs under the table ( from front to back) and exits out the back with an overhang on which the motor can sit on (like a plank off a ship, but meant to be stable). The slate would be 19" wide to fit the profile, and 22" deep. So table and motor sit on slate (with motor on overhang bit) and slate sits on platform. Does that reduce effectiveness of the system?

Thanks in advance.
