what can go under an LP12?

mine is currently on a target wall mount shelf. I have the ability to get a piece of granite, finished edges, for no charge..could i put this between the lp12 and the mdf shelf the target shelf comes with, or use the granite in place of the shelf. What about other components? where would a piece of granite work best, if at all?

Replace the MDF with a Neuance shelf.

Linn recommends a light, rigid table if you're not using a wall mount. If you're near an Ikea store they have what is called a Lack table for under $20.00. Makes a big difference. Whenever I have put footers or heavy granite, etc under my LP12, I lose bass and the sound lacks any life.

Hi Jaf2290,

I agree with Drubin and have done exactly what he has recommended with my LP12 and Target shelf. The shelf is very rigid and low mass which results in very little energy being transfered into the record. You will find a very quiet background as a result.

I don't believe that you can do better.

Good luck,

Mark

Although I am not very familiar with the LP12, I do agree with Drubin about the Neuance shelf. I replaced the stock MDF platform under my Spacedeck with one and it's a noticeable improvement in all regards.
