Thanks to everyone for all the ideas. After realizing that the room I am in was added on, and one of my walls is concrete, I decided to mount the table on the wall. Got some brackets, 2 pieces of 5/8" MDF and some foam to place between them from Home Depot for under $30. Had the shelf installed in under an hour, placed the turntable on top, started playing, and its absolutely fantastic!! You can jump rope in front of the table and the needle doesn't move an inch. I could not be happier with this set up, I know I lucked out. Thanks again for all the advise!
Tuntable not working with wood floors..Help
Moved into a new (old) house, with wood floors and it is giving me a huge headache. I have my AR Turntable sitting on top of my rack, and it is absolutely unplayable. You can not even tip toe through the room with out the needle bouncing out of control. I placed a bike tube and a piece of glass underneath it, and it helped, but its still not playable. Here's what I need to know. 1) Would a new table help? The AR is set up so the platter and the arm float on the same suspension (which appears to be very loose), would a TT with a different design help/solve my problem. 2) If not the table, what can I do to get this thing to work? I am in college so $ is very slim (I am talking Ramen and Keystone slim). I don't think my landlord would be happy about mounting it on the wall, but I may take that chance if it comes to it. All advise is much appreciated!
