I'm using an 18" concrete patio slab on four tennis balls on top of an exterior wall mounted maple shelf. It's dead quiet now. The total cost was about $20.00.
Best rack for non-suspension turntable?
I have a Well-Tempered Classic turntable. For those unfamiliar, it does not have any internal suspension.
Does anyone have an opinion about the best type of equipment rack for this kind of table? My options are the Naim Fraim (I have Naim electronics, but the Fraim is obscenely expensive) which is rigid with glass shelves or the Isoblue which is composed of layers of different woods (so I'm told).
The Fraim supposedly is unbeatable with a suspension table like an LP12, but I'm not sure how it would work with a non-suspended table.

Garebear, if the resonances are truly being effectively channeled out and external influences isolated, the sonic result should be more harmonically rich as the crud is removed to reveal the real sound. Any true upgrade, as opposed to a juggling of colorations, should have this effect, ie. less hash and grunge/more natural detail. In my experience this does not usually translate as brighter unless natural brightness is being masked. Even then it is not aggressively brighter, just more revealing. |
The big problem for the super-rigid or super-massive schools of TT isolation is that the continuous motion of the Earth's crust (and other sources of low freq. vibration such as traffic) forces the building's foundation and structure to shake, shake, shake. Unless the TT is decoupled from the structure/foundation, the TT is susceptible to low freq. vibration, even when placed on super-massive or super-rigid platforms. Geoff Kait, Machina Dynamica |
