I used the Gingko platform on my VPI Super Scoutmaster and had a problem with rocking and vibration of the tonearm. This Gingko model used 2 platforms, one under the table, and a separate one under the motor. The culprit was the tennis balls under the platforms which allows them to move. I sold the Gingko and replaced it with a Symposium Ultra Shelf under the table and motor. This eliminated the rocking problem and noticeably improved the sound.
Gingko Cloud 9 Scoutmaster
I've bought a second hand Gingko Cloud 9 for my scoutmaster. I assumed since it's a vibration isolation platform, it would isolate the turntable from footfalls, etc. It does not. It actually makes things worse. Can't even put the needle on the record without the turntable wobbling all over the place. Am i doing something wrong, or is this thing totally useless?
