How to best isolate TT from vibration?


Hi all:

I'm currently using a Systemdek IIX table, which has a floating suspension system. I have it on a Atlantis Reference rack, but have replaced the top shelf with a 18" x 18" x 2" brick paver, and use (8) Vibrapod 4's under the table itself to prevent vibration. I still suffer from some skipping unless I walk ever so softly in my music room, most noticably at the beginning of an LP. I'm looking for input regarding what you fine members consider to be the best, but yet economical, methods of isolating this table and nixing this problem. Thanks,

Dear Jim: skipping when you walk in the room?

Maybe and just maybe the problem is not exactly a isolation one: I don't know which cartridge do you use and if the set-up is right and if the resonance frequency between the arm/cartridge is in the safe range. Do you already try with the higher manufacturer recomended VTF?

If everything is fine then the Jfrech advise is a best one. Stay away from Aurios or similar design devices for this kind of problem.

Regards and enjoy the music.

Traffic, subways and other sources of Low Freq. Vibration (that shake the house) are included in my definition of "seismic vibration." The proof that wall mounting is not totally effective is to employ an isolation device under the component mounted on the wall. Even when the house is out in the country, away from the usual sources of vibration that plague city folk.

All frequencies of structural vibration will affect audio performance - especially the extremely low frequencies. Earth's crust motion (which is continuous and has a vibration peak in the range 1-3 Hz). It is a mistake to think that very low frequency vibrations, even in this 1-3 Hz range, do not have audible consequences.

Yeah I've noticed those 1-3Hz frequencies tend to rattle the house when magma seeps into my basement. Gotta get a lava detector.
If you don't WALL mount it ,you'll just be spinning your wheels. SYSTEMDEK XII MUST be wall mounted
