What is under your TT, cheap islolation?


I am looking for a way to isolate my turntable without using a shelf bolted to the wall. I am trying to save money while I re-configure the room. For now my turntable is on top of my stand but you have to tip toe around the room. I am wondering if a big rock iso platform (or DYI version) or some iso nodes under a butcher block would help with the bouncing turntable? I have two tables I am testing at the moment, one is a Thorens TD-160 & the other is a VPI HW19 MKII, both of them suspended. The floors are pretty sturdy, it is a dedicated room over my garage with serious supports built in to the floor.

Build your own. I have an old AV clamp rack where inbetween I clamped two cinderblocks & some cut 2 X 4's to raise platform. Using spikes & cones, a level you can construct a wonderful turntable stand. I can actually jump up & down right next to my table while playing and does no skipping whatsoever. The clamp rack was by I believe Michael Green......Enjoy.
