How to properly put audio equipment on top of an antique buffet cabinet?
"
Cork is not a good idea since it retains moisture." Nonsense, those cork/rubber pads (I linked above) are used in the HVAC industry with heating and A/C units for vibration control, cork floats and does not absorb moisture. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cork_(material) |
Personally, I would not recommend either marble or a granite stone slab. Although marble would look good and is somewhat inexpensive it is a poor choice sonically. Marble would be a better choice, also look good, cost more but once again sonically weak. I like the suggestions others have made and go with a 2" or 3" think piece of nicely finished maple supported off your beautiful antique buffet cabinet by a means that wn't damage the wood. |
Your beautiful 17th century style 1920’s built sideboard is a big heavy slab by itself. I see anything other than simple sorbathane or rubber feet taking away too much of the visual and providing no sonic benefit. Do not use felt as it is the old finishes that over time will absorb the texture and leave a mark. |
Possibly Herbie's Tenderfeet. They are neither sorbathane or rubber. http://herbiesaudiolab.net/compfeet.htm And to the OP; please pull your speakers forward to improve imaging. |
