Turntable isolation platform Recommendations?

HRS under my Bardo w Triplaner and Delos. As you might be aware the Brinkmann tables use a unique spindle spacer clamp system.

Also Mike at HRS picks up the phone and can assist beyond dealer knowledge on loading, etc. A great guy, good ears, solid scientific background, made in USA, if your table changes in future can adapt load cells, etc….

I will definitely call Monday and speak with Mike.

"Why do you need isolation platform? Isolation from what?

Hi-Fi rack or some nice and heavy wooden furniture is more than enough for a good turntable. "


People are crazy about springs and all that BS. "

@chakster 
Your both sides of ignorant and ignorance here. Constantly you demean others for wanting what your to ignorant to know or understand how or why. Assuming only you know best because your to cheap and to full of yourself to learn thus making it frustrating for others to learn without the imperialistic non experienced based drek.

I find the irony in this less amusing as it is just outright ignorance.
Those two middle of the pack TurnTables that you decry as the best ever Luxman PD 444 .....The bloody feet have SPRINGS  in them as well as rubber and silicone grease and steel rings........better ditch those eh...I mean who needs that BS , eh , according to you... I didn't know they had Ostrichs  in Mother Russia...with a lack of sand we can see what and where you place yours.....
Springs are not a new revelation,  just improved and defined...The actual designers thought they we important enough in your two Mid
Fi tables.....

Yes, Luxman PD-444 has build-in springs inside their feet (those are not soft springs, because it’s super heavy turntable), but this is the way this turntable designed, no additional spring or isolation platform required. See my point?

When I say people are crazy about springs I mean people who think the springs required under everything. The spring is their favorite topic.

My point is do not try to fix a problem if there is no problem at all.

Instead of isolation platform like MINUS-K (not sure how many people can afford it) it can be a custom made rack or table or just a rack from hi-fi store designed for audio components.

A good turntable already isolated, and you don’t have to be in vacuum completely isolated on a space ship to enjoy your vinyl, ok?

I see so many pyramids build by audiophiles under their turntables, they put springs on spring with those butcvher blocks, squash balls, spikes whatever. My questin is alwayы the same: "why?".


If you think I have only luxman Turntable you’re wrong, I have many different turntables, what I do not have is bass feedback or any problem that require additional isolation, this is why I’m asking the OP why he’s looking for isolation platform? Just because some people using them ?

I designed a custom made rack (filled with sand), it’s on spikes, the rack made for my PD-444, as you can see the Tannoy with 15 inch driver is near (pneumatic insulator under Tannoy as you can see). My turntable is "isolated", no bass feedback, nothing. I can knock on turntable plinth and there is nothing in the speakers picked up my my MC cartridge.


Ignorance @has2be ?

What is the problem with your turntables if you need so many things to "isolate" it ??? There is a volcano nearby or you are hammering the floor while the needle is in the groove? I really don’t understand.

Technics made SL1200G and 300 people can jump on the dancefloor dancing all nigh, even in this case nobody use isolation platforms and needles do not skip if everything adjusted correct with 2-3g tracking force. Since the 70’s people widely using Technics turntables in the night clubs (before Technics the Garrard and Thorens have been used there), normally there is a rack, sometimes there is a piece of slate on the rack (table) under the turntables. Nowadays it can be isonoe footers, nothing else. But believe me the sound pressure in the night clubs is nowhere near to your home audio and I believer you are alone in the listening room, I guess 300 people are not dancing on the same floor when you’re in your listening chair at home?

Isolation from what ? Turntable already isolated for home use, just put it on a stable rack or wooden furniture and enjoy the music if you can.

In my opinion it’s better to use a solid rack on spikes than to put some "isolation platform" on a floppy shaking lightweight table. Lightweight turntables on soft springs are shaking from a wind out of your window.
