Turntable Isolation


Im looking for an isolation base for my VPI Signature 21. My listening room is over my garage and a times my footfalls cause the table to skip. What have you used that works?

My wood floors, over a crawl space, are springy: as the last measure, I put these under my JVC TT 's adjustable feet, solves it enough for me to get far enough away before the music starts: vibration no longer an issue. There will be no dancing in front of the TT!.

I ended up wrapping my edges with black tape, don't even notice them

 

What's your budget?  The Minus K (or similar) is probably the best isolation device to prevent footfalls from affecting play.  The cheaper options are hit and miss as a lot depends on the your rack, listening area etc.  More info at minusk.com

Suspended floors are a different thing from a cement floor. Turntables with outstanding isolation are still subject to problems from footfalls on a suspended floor. For a nearly hundred years the answer is wall mounted shelves. They are made to get the turntable off the trampoline (floor)
