Turntable Isolation

Or build a plywood box at least 6 inches deep and wide enough and long enough to accommodate your TT with a few inches to spare on all 4 sides. Then fill it with beach sand. Then sit your TT on a slab of wood, any wood, that is resting on the surface of the sand. If that doesn’t kill your problem, put springs under the sandbox.

Thx for all the recommendations. The Townsend will be here Monday. 

Magnetic levitation is the way to go. Not that difficult to setup nowadays; the new ultra strong magnets are not that expensive.

Then just a couple steel plates and you are in business. A little foam or something on the sides to keep the suspension aligned... Abso;ute 100% isolation.

that isn’t correct. First of all, your design means there is some physical contact between the plates, if not the top goes shooting off to the side.

The other thing is it is not a magic carpet suspended in air. There is a force from the lower magnets pushing up on the ones on the top plate. Shake the bottom and the top reacts. It is NOT 100% isolation. it may be damped, but it is absolutely not 100% isolated.

and lastly, there is the question of leveling it. If the load on top is not symmetrical it will tilt. Not good for a turntable.

Solid Tech - feet of silence will solve your problems- worth every penny!

@polkalover I am a advocate of Solid Tech 'Feet of Silence'.

I have these as footers that superseded all others used on a particular weight of TT. Those who I have loaned these to but wished for a little more weight to be supported have fabricated their own suspension platforms based on the design/SME Design.

I have heard these DIY Version in use against the users previous footers and their DIY Types of suspension platforms, and am totally convinced that everything the   ' 'Feet of Silence'  can create as a sonic improvement/attraction is present. .

If a Densified Wood was used as the Platform I am certain these DIY versions will have been a further improved design.
