Vibration Issues / Turntable Decisions

@kavakat1 thanks, that is my plan for this weekend!

@slaw yes, our initial discussions lead me to the suspended platform. @geoffkait helped a lot with ideas as well..

But @slaw why get so mad? You either drink too much coffee or need to get laid. Or both..

At every issue I tried to address with the Op, I never received any response.

@toddverrone, why do you chose to say" "you either drink too much or need to get laid"?

I’m not "mad", I’m just passionate.

Without knowing me, you have created an "impassionate expressive description" of a person you don’t know, yet somehow feel a need to make public that I’m a "basket case".

I don’t know why you feel this (need), but it is over the line in the context of these discussions.

Your posts have diverted the attention from the OP’s post.


Having said that, I don’t know why my post regarding how I dealt with my support structure is now being a reference by the OP to another poster as something he’s considering!


@kavati1,

Forget anything I ever posted, as @ toddverrone  knows me better than I know myself.

Maybe, I'll (PM) @toddverrone regarding any other issue I'm thinking about. Hopefully, this measure will make it clear to all who subscribe to @toddverrone thinking, will have a say in what (he) thinks should happen with any future post I make.

Checking in... wanted to circle back to the post with some findings.

1. Supporting joists under just the listening room was not helpful. The foyer/listening room/dining room all have this trampoline floor issue.

2. I borrowed a VPI from a local dealer and set it up in the same spot with supports in crawlspace removed, no skipping issues.

So while the Thorens TD-150 is a fantastic sounding table, I think after the move from a slab to crawlspace, its time to let it go find a better more-suitable home.

@slaw thank you for your insight and opinion, sorry for not disclosing the slab-crawlspace move up front.

Really appreciate the ideas here. While I am not sold on moving to a VPI, I think the combination of increased support in the room, dedicated isolation platform, and a non-suspended TT is my direction.

Have a fantastic evening all!

Ciao,
Ron
