Linn Sondek Isolation

I made my own out of 5/8 plex approx an 1 1/4 inches larger than the LP12 on each side. For the legs, I used 1/4 inch bolts and 2 nuts (one on for the top of the base and one for the bottom). This allows me to adjust each bolt for a perfect level base. Underneth each bolt (leg) I used 1/4 thick artist erasers which I cut 1"x1". I would imagine this would be considered light and somewhat flexible. It works well, and allows you to adjust for level no mater where you locate the table, including wall brackets.

Lightweight and rigid is the way to go - an old Sound Organization table works quite nicely. You might also try the Neuance platform which a lot of Linn folks really like:

Normansizemore, using an LP12 on a very high mass stand is like pouring gas into the fuel tank of a diesel car and then complaining the car wouldn't run properly. It needs to be on a light 'table or, ideally, a wall shelf. I had a Sondek on a wall shelf 75' from a diesel train track and the LP12 NEVER skipped, even as the whole place shook as the train went by.

Headsnappin, and you think my audio dealer would have told me that? NOOOOOOOOOO, he is the one who sold me the behemoth stand to begin with, as well as the LP12 and the $$$ years of upgrades. I honestly never thought of using a lighter stand. You always hear of stories of stands filled with lead shot, and extra ballast so as to be unmovable.

Hey Norman, hopefully you've upgraded your dealer as well as the turntable! It is not your job to think of a lighter table, any Linn dealer would know that. Or did they sell you that used and are not trained by Linn?
