Stillpoints under a turntable?

@tirebiter 

Hi, I think @bpoletti  said it well, except, I'd say tonal balance changes with those positives stated earlier to a degree.

I'm close to implementing my wall shelf that will accommodate my (2) tts.
I'm hoping this will be a positive thing.

@tirebiter 

How's the platter working out?

Happy Listening!

Good to see you are active here....!

VPI has a reputation for many iterations of pieces and parts and have to say, I am not sure what feet your tables came with. My TNT came with "upgraded" elephant feet. I believe they are the newer version with sorbathane cushions as opposed to the springs or bladder systems. That still says rubber of sorts in they system so I may have to go on a mission to find some Ultras...

I do really like the Mk V platter, it has been a good upgrade. I am still betting the ceramic bearing is a big improvement to go along with the platter itself. 

Good luck with the shelf, I would venture to guess that it has been well thought out. I am afraid that my setup may be suffering a bit because of the cabinet I am using to support my TT as well as house electronics (other than my Lamms). It is heavy oak with 1 1/4" thick top but know some vibration is induced. Thus I have placed a 24" by 32" by 1" piece of granite slab on it for the TT to sit on. I have some absorbent material between the slab and oak but when I apply the tap test to the oak, some vibration does bleed through. A never ending quest....

My Classic 3 has completely different feet from any TNT version. I've never owned a TNT, but there are plenty of people here who have.. some who have done well in their quest in a DIY version.

I'm afraid that, when I read you're using the same cabinet/support for your tt/electronics...well...you know.

You own Lamm equipment? Hum.... You need a great TT isolation, my friend.

BTW,
 so glad you were the recipient of that platter. The fact that you appreciated it's condition and knowing the plans you have...!!

Thanks Steve, Yes the cabinet is a bit of a sore spot. Originally had it custom built 8 years ago when we moved into this house to hide all of the wires and boxes...a requirement of my better half. Not a big deal back then because I had not yet resurrected a Thorens TD 160 I have been carting around with me for nearly 45 years and was digital only. 

My options are somewhat limited but have resolved to experiment a bit by moving the VPI and B-Lab pre to a somewhat nearby granite counter-top and see what I hear. It can't be a long term solution but at least will tell me one way or the other what direction I need to go. I should ask now, do you think the Stillpoints have any sort of chance of helping given the current configuration or would I be chasing my tail? I haven't quite come to terms with the logic of installing what seems to me to be semi solid connections between the the base and the TT.

So the two items that don't sit in or on the cabinet are the Lamm ML2.1 monoblocks. A big step up from anything I had tried before and they drive a pair of Avantgarde Duo Grosso horns quite nicely. Going back to vinyl has only enhanced that experience!
