Next to the sidewalk, best it go into an adjacent room. One of the neglected issues related to TT's is the acoustic energy the is flying around the listening room. It always is impacting the arm and cartridge, no matter what the plinth material is. Once you have it in another room, best to put it on a cost no object base. What is that? About $30K for an electron microscope base, then serious listening can begin.
Best TT plinth material, cost no object
It is said that the best material with which to build a loudspeaker cabinet is LEAD, the second best is concrete and the third is Aluminum. Only the third has been adapted by the industry, for obvious reasons.
Internal and extraneous vibrations need to be dampened or eliminated if sound smearing is to be reduced,
Now to the turntable; remove it from the influence of vibrations, internal vibrations not withstanding, and the vinyl should sound better.
Not all of us can put the turntable outside on the sidewalk where only the elements can affect the sound, but can we make the plinth so HEAVY that we can come close to removing the turntable from the sound room entirely?
Can a lead plinth, not too practical, get us as close as possible to putting the turntable outside, on the concrete walk?
Your thoughts, Ken
