How to best isolate TT from vibration?


Hi all:

I'm currently using a Systemdek IIX table, which has a floating suspension system. I have it on a Atlantis Reference rack, but have replaced the top shelf with a 18" x 18" x 2" brick paver, and use (8) Vibrapod 4's under the table itself to prevent vibration. I still suffer from some skipping unless I walk ever so softly in my music room, most noticably at the beginning of an LP. I'm looking for input regarding what you fine members consider to be the best, but yet economical, methods of isolating this table and nixing this problem. Thanks,

Esox- this sounds (pun intended) like a diy version of the Gingko Cloud product.
I imagine so. I went with this because different numbers of pieces of MDF worked better with my Roksan Xerxes turntable, and originally the setup was on the floor. The best setup there was to have 5 layers of MDF on top and two layers on the bottom. When I changed to the SME 20/2A, it worked best on a wall stand with a single layer of MDF on top and bottom.

I started off using tennis balls, but they did not sound as good as the inflatable sports balls. I also tried bicycle tubes and a "sandbox" type of setup, but this is by far the most effective. The only drawback is that the balls need to be reinflated once or twice a year. Or you can just go buy a new set for $7.
Funny, when I first got my 'DEK after hard times forced an LP12 sale, I auditioned a vacuum-hold SOTA in a direct comparison. The 'DEK made music, the SOTA didn't: 1st class HIFI though. I use a chipboard plate and blobs of Sorbothane in place of the original feet. Not perfect, but far from the previous just tipeetoe and...! Oh, I got the Sorbothane from an Audioquest mat: another excellent HIFI/LOUSY music product!
You've heard it from Lolo, Nsgarch and Newbee.
I'm an architect and they all speak the truth....and yes.....if you can mount off a masonry wall, all the better!
