Support table or shelf for turntable

Let’s stay focused here: no one said a wall shelf would be the end to all vibration issues. I certainly didn’t say that. My recommendation of a wall shelf had to do with having less stuff between the speakers, helping to improve sound, which is a well established concept that I do have familiarity with. So maybe more careful reading of the whole thread would lead to less strife.

Looking forward to your findings, noromance.

And yeah, we are a crazy lot. Happy Sunday all!

Taking you at your word "now"......

You "now" make a distinction... (this comes from my prying you to make some sort of meaning from your past posts)... of me being "confrontational", without your acknowledgement of any personal experience regarding your "recommendations" to others to how "their" systems should be. Yet, You now acknowledge you have no prior experience with wall mounts. But you recommended a wall mount. Right? Why? I would never recommend ANY product that I never used or had experience with.  You did. Why?

You now inject a  new (move), now to say you're getting ready to go out...

You now say "I'm being confrontational". Interesting? This was how I felt about your responses, a long time ago. Yet, I dealt with it.

You seem to have a "bag" of excuses to bring out when necessary?/

We are still waiting on your "previous posts regarding our recommendation of using a wall mount", and your experiences as such.

When you get back from your rock climbing, maybe you'll have thought of a good enough answer.

You now subscribe to my post regarding the expansion/contraction of walls...only after I posted it.

Be safe!

@toddveronne,

You, my friend, are what I see as the "worst" of what should be looked highly upon here!

I think about "newbies" looking at us. I think about people trying their best to get into this hobby, hoping for "sound' wisdom" from years-long posters.

Yet, you, undermine the very foundation of these principles!!

Shame on you!!!!

@toddverrone,

While you're out "climbing/hiking" and such, I'm here listening.

That says a lot, doesn't it?

Wall shelves (interior brick wall first floor) never worked for my Linn LP12 and Rega decks. The sound always felt grounded.
I live on a main road and I suspect that the wall itself was transmitting a fair degree of vibration itself.

On the other hand a small light rigid wooden table made my cheap $50 flimsy plastic turntable (glued stylus) sound ridiculously close to the above mentioned decks! The sound was big with a good sense of ease about it. With young kids in the house I just gave up on vinyl entirely largely because of these issues.

I think the main point to bear in mind is that we want to decouple, not isolate via spikes etc. In fact some of the extreme high end decks feature advanced tech which totally decouples them via magnets or air suspension.

Hmm, does anyone have friends in NASA who could help up us solve these issues once and for all? Google? Apple? I heard that Steve Jobs was a vinyl man...
