VPI-19 feet

My Mk III I love. Really have no choice, considering the investment; but when I look down at those stock feet, I wince. I have the unit sitting on a board salvaged from one of those sand box devices, on top of some squashed vibrapods.

Suggestions on improving the stock foot situation of the 19 appreciated.

TIA

I use the threaded aluminum cones in place of the stock rubber feet. Cones rest on brass Audio Points pucks, sitting atop a Black Diamond shelf. Black Diamond shelf sits atop an Arcici Airhead. Have not experimented with other combo's (admittedly I should) but this setup is doing a nice job.

Mr Fleschler that's very interesting, however I do have trouble understanding something about your setup. With a seismic sink under the TT footers, what functions do the granite slab & steel stand serve? It seems like the Townsend would isolate everything below it (the granite & stand) from the turntable's base so effectively that it wouldn't seem to matter very much what the seismic sink was resting on top of? What am I missing here --- anyone?
