I second the B&O suggestion. Many years ago I had the same problem but, instead of foot falls, it was trucks on the road outside that were causing the problems. The Technics couldn't handle it so I went to a B&O radial tracker. (I think it was a Beogram 5000?) I don't know how they did it but you could slap that thing around all day long and it wouldn't skip or send footsteps through the speakers. Mid-Fi but, a used one should be well within your price range. First you might want to check on availability of cartridges as the low mass tone arm could only accept special B&O units.
Turrntable With or Without Suspension?
Hello yous guys.
So I'm looking to spend $500ish for a turntable with cartridge.
The main problem is that the turntable is going to live in a place where it will have to bear the brunt of my family stomping and clomping around it's vicinity.
Should I go for a turntable with built-in suspension or should I just rig something up or purchase some special mats to absorb the vibrations?
Let me knows what yous think.
