Help with isolation for Linn LP12 on wood floor

Hi,

Thanks again to all members with their help with my previous hum issue. Now this system "Tubes that rock" is almost there! I moved the Turntable from the right side to the left side of the wall unit and it seems to be more acceptable to vibration and skips when someone walks by. I am not getting feedback while playing but I think it would sound better with some type of isolation device or isolation shelf etc. Unfortunately I know nothing about them. Suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks to all for your invaluable help

Up and down is good - the suspension can handle it. Rotations or side to side are not so good. If you can eliminate the latter in favour of the former, the Linn will be a happy little Scot.

My experience dating back 25 years is that the LP-12 doesn't like any sort of wall unit. I still use my original Sound Organisation table from the 1980's which is a simple stiff lightweight steel frame table which holds only the LP-12. It has spikes on the legs. No problems on my hardwood floor. I've experimented with other things such as top of equipment racks, wall units, etc and it was a disaster - skipping just as you describe. I concur that a stiff lightweight steel frame wall shelf is also a proven alternative.

Try the rubber/foam component isolation feet.
