VPI Scout Placement


I have been tinkering with my newly acquired VPI Scout and could use some advice... I have wood, carpeted floors and the slightest thump or walking across the room will send the stylus skipping. Unfortunately wall mounting is not an option due to space restrictions and room configuration. I have a Sanus rack for my other gear and I am sure that needs to be upgraded but I like the idea of having the TT near my listening position. Presently the TT is on a heavy wood coffee table. Your expertise would be greatly appreciated by this newby.

Get a nice maple platform and suspend it with adjustable chains or cables from the joists in your ceiling. You can stomp, dance, or do whatever without any problem. I've done this for years with my tables. It will take some time to level everything (critical) but the results are unmatched by any other isolation device.

Not here. Even a jumbo fathead couldn't get any movement.

Listen to this genius. While you're at it, pick up a couple hundred shares of Enron too.
