turntable feedback

I have suspended hardwood floors in my house and just cannot listen to my turntable at much volume especially with the subwoofer on. The turntable is on a dedicated stand. I have asked local dealers for advice but to no avail. there is no logical place in my room for a wall mounted shelf so that is out of the question. I love the sound of vinyl and have a huge collection that is being ignored because of this horrible problem "Im going crazy pease help!!!"

Sometimes the airbladder types of isolation will help. Like Arcici or Brighstar.

What kind of Turntable is it? What kind of stand? Where is the sub located?

More questions. What is the crossover point on your sub? How low do your main speakers go?

Your only solution may be ceiling suspension.

Dear Zeekzaak: If the problem comes from a floor feedback the the Storyboy advice is an alternative or look for a better isolation platform/footers. If the feedback comes from the " sound " ( subwoofer very low bass reproduction ) sometimes changing the TT place could help.

Btw, which kind of " sounds/noise " do you hear from that feedback?

Regards and enjoy the music.
Raul.

The floor will flex the least near outside walls, particularly in a corner of 2 outside walls. Unfortunately, this si where airborne sounds will be reinforced the most. I'd say try locating it close to a corner and see what happens.
