turntable stand, steel, aluminum,shelves of ?

What do you use, cost no object. Steel , Aluminum, sand or lead filled. Your table, sprung or pointed, your arm, cartridge, on a concrete or wood floor.

Did you buy or build. There are many great suppliers of eqipment racks out there. My situation requires a custom design that cannot be satisfyed by a standard supplier. I've spent a good deal of time building my table, the stand might make it or break it. Your thoughts are more valuabe than you might think



I'm a DIY guy, I can mig weld steel or tig weld aluminum. I can fill it with sand or a matrix of urethane and lead.

Guys, I'm 65 and I don't have that much time left for mistakes. I have a sexy wife, three years younger than I, who only uses the music to the means to an end. -----------------

Please reply soon , as Sue tells me we will have a Saturday nite dance fest with Delbedrt Mc Klinton, I may be dead by Sunday.

I appreciate your reply.

Thanks, Ken

I just happen to own an isolation table that would seem to resemble what you are describing. I used to use it for my own front end and it did a fine job, but I can't say I did any critical comparisons to back up that impression. Regardless, mine is a steel and solid lead isolation table manufactured for use in a physics laboratory. I don't know if they are still around, but the manufacturer was Vibra-Stat I believe. It weighs around 300 lbs I'd guess, and comes apart into to pieces. There are four spring shock absorbers for legs, one in each corner. You can see a not-so-detailed picture of it from my system page here. If you try moving one of these around on your own I don't think you'll be doing much dancing, or anything else fun for that matter. You may even be dead earlier than Sunday. But I can see from your own system page that you are either a glutton for punishment in that regard, or have a bunch of Ooompa Loompas doing your bidding. Steel alone is very resonant, of course, but surrounding solid lead it is dead as Jimmy Hoffa. I'd imagine sand filling would have a similar effect. I've moved out of my studio space, where my old system page is from, and my beluga vibration stand is in storage, and will likely eventually be sold because of WAF which it seems has no bearing in your case. I recently had to move it, and I'll tell you it is not an event that I particularly miss.

Hope you make your Sunday deadline (pun intended...and I certainly hope you are not serious). Oh, and have fun Saturday night!
