Favorite Platform for Linn LP12

@no_regrets Nice. Symposium, as stated above, makes some great gear! Their racks have long been on my radar as a replacement should I move away from my current Sound Anchor. Great to hear their shelf works well under the little fruit box.

@daveyf   Thank you!  Yes, Peter at Symposium is a great guy and easy to talk to, very responsive and makes a great product with excellent fit and finish.  It came packed very well.

He knows the Linn LP12 very well and recommended the Segue over the Segue ISO as the latter has a built-in spring system that would not work as well with the LP12 as just the normal Segue.

It's nice to have another great option for people who enjoy suspended tables :)

Best wishes to all,
Don

In the 1980's and 90's a lot of UK Linn dealers sold the Torlyte shelf as a platform for the table. Torlyte is an extremely low mass, honeycomb-like structure, made of balsa wood. It has fallen out of fashion, but is I believe still available from Russ Andrews. I use one between my Townshend Rock table and Townshend Seismic Pods. Old & new!

I used to use a Townsend Seismc Sink under my LP12. With very nice results. However, once I added the Tramp 2, the combo of Tramp 2 and Seismic sink was too much and the SQ suffered. I do think that with Tramp 2 the platform beneath the table can be of less importance, so long as it can be well leveled and isn't too prone to vibration.

I too use a Segue under my LP12. I also modified a solid Linn baseboard and added brass cones. This according to Peter was a better interface with the platform than the rubber feet.
