Turntable Resonance Solution
A few months ago I expanded my music options and reentered the vinyl market. Since my rack was full of components I needed a new stand/rack to set my turntable on and after searching for several weeks could not find a solution that worked for my space. Many dealers and shops were sold out and could not get stock due to the pandemic and supply issues. My solution ended up being a repurposed dresser with a glass top. One day when I was listening with my grill covers off I noticed in between tracks, that my subwoofers and woofers on my mains were moving in and out ridiculously fast creating resonance. If it was happening between tracks I knew it had to have a negative impact when it was playing a track. After consulting some Audiogon members privately I went with the solution recommended by @millercarbon which was a Townshend Podium. I contacted Townshend in the UK and gave them my turntable specs and they identified s solution immediately that they guaranteed would work. I have had the podium about 10 days and not only did the resonance go away but the music from my turntable sounds much much better. It's as if I got a new turntable. The bass response is more clear and the midrange sounds so much more pure. Have not noticed a huge difference in the tweeter performance although it is slightly improved. I had no idea that a podium under my turntable could not only solve the resonance but actually improve the sound and made this purchase a huge BONUS. I will definitely add additional products from Townshend in the future, but for now I'll enjoy this upgrade. Interested to see if others have had a positive impact their turntable or on speakers, amps, etc. using this or similar products?

Just think, you could have got the same results with $35 worth of springs! https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/springs-under-turntable
