What is your floor like? Seems like most folks with non-suspended tables get excellent results with anything that is rigid. Avoid direct placement on MDF. I've built a stand with integrated sandboxes and 2 1/2 hard maple shelves. Works almost too well, but I think any thick hardwood shelf would work. It is possible to over-damp and adversely affect dynamics, which is what happens with my setup when I allow the 'table spikes to embed into the maple shelf. Whether this is due to the sand or maple or the combination of both I don't know. A few sheets of aluminum and steel under the spikes brought the leading edge transients right back.
Best rack for non-suspension turntable?
I have a Well-Tempered Classic turntable. For those unfamiliar, it does not have any internal suspension.
Does anyone have an opinion about the best type of equipment rack for this kind of table? My options are the Naim Fraim (I have Naim electronics, but the Fraim is obscenely expensive) which is rigid with glass shelves or the Isoblue which is composed of layers of different woods (so I'm told).
The Fraim supposedly is unbeatable with a suspension table like an LP12, but I'm not sure how it would work with a non-suspended table.
Any opinions?
