Using Maple Butcher Block Under a Turntable

Hello!

I currently have a second system in my family room where the turntable is positioned on a simple (IKEA) A/V bench. I have a 1.5” Top Chop cutting board (maple) under the turntable. Under the cutting board, I use four 4”x4”x7/8” rubber & cork isolation blocks at each corner. I also use Vibrapod Model 3 Isolators for the turntable’s feet to further dampen any vibration. 

While this may be overkill, I find that this solution works really, really well. While I don’t have kids, I do host a good number of parties & haven’t had any issues with skipping, etc. considering all the foot traffic & activity around the turntable during these get-togethers.

I start out with my trusty, fully loaded with lead shot and sand, Lead Balloon by Arcci then I place my maple platform directly on top of the Lead Ballons turntable support shelf which has adjustable spikes to level things out then I place a Symposium Seque ISO platform on top of the maple shelf and then I place my turntable on top of that. This setup really works very well for my setup which is a VPI Prime with peripheral ring and Single Motor Flywheel.
