VPI at one point recommended putting a mouse pad under the motor, you can put softer rubber feet under the motor to reduce vibration being transmitted to the rack and back to your table. ideally you want to absorb all vibration from the motor and that will take more than one type of material, you can stack maple, rubber, aluminum, sand, etc to more effectively reduce vibration transfer.
VPI table isolation
I have a VPI Aries table with a Scout motor (long story) setting on top of a Polycrystal rack. As I was making some adjustments tonight, I noticed that when I touched the arm, I could feel the motor vibration. I disengaged the motor from the platter while running and could still feel the vibration.
Any recommendations on how to isolate the motor from the table? I do not want to spend more than $400-$500 as I am not sure how long I will keep this table, but if I could make an improvement, I would do it.
Any ideas would be appreciated
