Not sure what is best for your turntable but in my experience you can get great results putting the tonearm on a tower separated from the platter/plinth. In fact I have the motor, flywheel, platter/plinth, & tonearm tower all separate. Each "component" sits on Isoachostic feet. The flywheel, platter/plinth, & tonearm tower are on the same platform, while the motor is on a separate platform.
Tonearm mount to the plinth vs arm board vs rotating arm board vs isolated tower
Hello,
I am rebuilding a Garrard 301 and looking for a plinth. I am planning to buy 3-4 tonearms to try. I would like to know which is the best way moving forward.
Is there a difference between mounting a tonearm directly on a solid plinth vs arm board (same vs different materials) vs rotating arm board vs isolated tower.
Thanks
Nanda
