Turntable in cabinet

For a variety of reasons (kids, cat, spouse) my LP-12 will continue to reside in a built-in cabinet for some time. To make matters worse, the cabinet is near a corner in close proximety to the sub-woofer. I have successfully isolated the TT from the cabinet itself (TT on lightweight shelf on spikes on 1 1/2" plywood shelf on spikes on aluminum angles mounted to sides of cabinet interior).

However, I'd like to dampen any resonances within the cabinet itself if at all possible. Can anyone recommend something that could be applied to the cabinet interior to do so?

Thanks!

All,

Thanks for the prompt and thoughtful responses. Glad to hear that others have successfully placed the TT in a cabinet. I'll experiment with your suggestions.

Thanks again!

I'd try the dynamat. It really works..
be careful of sitting your table on softy things, it's gonna sog things up. As long as you have no howl I'd leave that part of the equation alone.

I have all my equipment in a cabinet. I replaced all the cheap MDF shelves with thick Maple shelves and lined the cabinet including the bottom of the shelves with self stick damping material that I bought from Parts Express. It seems to do the job. Don
