Linn Sondek Isolation

Hi All,

I recently acquired a mid-80's Sondek. It's being tuned and will be back in my eagerly waiting hands in a few days. I will be putting the table in small wood audio cabinet.

Do I need to set the table on isolation feet or perhaps the entire audio cabinet?

Thanks,

Tim

A nice used 'tank' would be an ideal base for any Sondek.

What is a used "tank?"

Do you have an ikea in your area? If yes, buy yourself an ikea lack table.They are ridged four legged tables made of a light weight composite. If not go to HD or Lowe's and purchase heavy duty mounting brackets a thick piece of maple butcher block and wall mount the table. The Linn really is best suited for wall mounting and the ikea lack table is if you just can't.

I have a Torlite stand made expressly for the Linn by Russ Andrews in the 80s. Email me if interested.

A couple of things I have done to set my LP12 up is 1)place it on Aurios, that helps a lot and 2) brace the cabinet against the wall, preferably a stud area. I have a wooden block that is basically wedged between the cabinet and the wall, you actually want the wooden block to be under pressure from the cabinet trying to lean back toward the wall. I made one that is adjustable and I tighten it to make it tight.
