Vibration Issues / Turntable Decisions

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 - I told you how to fix the problem.  You seem not to be able to read or not wanting to fix it.  Your Thorens is a good turntable, your table is not.  The wood wedged between the wall and table is very much like the wall support. 

@stringreen got lost in the thread my friend, let me go give that a shot right now.

You could use 4 lengths of small link strong chain or rustic style rope attached to your ceiling securely.... to the four corners of a appropriate sized maple platform... suspended to the length of your liking.... to support your turntable. Nothing touches your floor or wall. Please check tonearm anti-skate. Take off the  Thorens 150 rubber platter mat and purchase (Google it)... Yamamoto Sound Craft PB-19 pure ceramic disks (about $30.00) and place 8 of them on your platter in a circle pattern. Place and play your record directly on the ceramic disks. Check your tonearm VTA. You will be amazed by the beautiful musical sound produced by decoupling your record from the platter using pure Yamamoto Sound Craft ceramic disks and floating your turntable from the ceiling. Best Wishes
