Halcro,

Can you post your comments on any of the threads re: Suspensions & turntable Platforms etc. You have hijacked a few threads on a few forums in this direction. It would be a more appropriate location for your comments. I think the tone here needs to get back to constructive and become relevant to the title of the thread.

Halcro,

You stopped at the first terminology you didn't understand! You only read the first sentence! Please keep reading the article, it's very informative.

+++++ what you speak.........any 'not so well executed' wall shelf (and can you please describe what you mean by this as I can't even imagine?)++++

Well, it's very simple: a 'not so well executed wall shelf' means a shelf mounted on a wall that has not been designed and constructed taking into account static and/or dynamic loads. In fact, it is actually a good idea to talk to a civil or structural engineer and ask him or her to do the calculations for you since we're dealing with probably 150 lbs cantilevering off of a wall. It's a very simple job and they probably won't charge for it.

Halcro, this is not a discussion about my 'wall shelf' can beat your 'floor mounted stand'. A fellow audiophile asked a question and we are simply providing our opinion about it. It is ok for somebody reading this post not to agree with me or not to agree with you. It's called 'freedom of speech'.

Dgad,
Go and police some other threads and don't tell me where to do my postings.
You might also like to re-read the posting questions and my initial answers?
There are very few on this forum who have structural and acoustic qualifications or experience so that when they read a posting which purports to contain 'facts and truths', they are liable to accept such posting at face value.
There are no down-sides to wall-mounting a turntable if the weight can be accommodated.
This is a simple fact of physics and acoustics and will never change.
To frighten people into thinking it is 'rocket science' and therefore best to take the easy route of placing the deck on a floor-mounted stand as you have chosen to do, is irresponsible advice in the quest of better analogue sound.
Mark Doehmann who designed the Caliburn floor-mounted stand which costs $25,000, agreed that at best......it equals the isolation performance of a wall-mounted shelf.
Pity that you'll never hear that?

Halcro,

You sound like a broken record. Chill out on this already. How many times do we have to read it.
