A Copernican View of the Turntable System

Dear Chris, Your mother is a wise lady. You should not mess
with doubtful persons. One of them is a traitor. He ordered
a plinth from, will you believe this , Moldova. Former Romania or so. But the price is nearly as cheap as your steel footers ($110; ebay.com) and probable more stable. I intend to put those Still-points underneath to get, say,
Albert Porter (cheap) plinth version for my SP 10 mk II.

Regards,

Hi Nikola - I can do better than that. I have a 7 layer Canadian baltic birch sp10 plinth sitting idle. I can send it to you to try if you like. But you would have to pay for the shipping. Its over 50 lbs. Let me know if interested.

Hi Henry - will post the SS footers info on the Nude TT thread - I see its front page again.

Cheers

Yes but Henry what's your answer to my valid question?

How big a Problem Is this Airborne Feedback ?

I am referring to 95 + db levels at the listening position.

Or is it really structure related so a wall mounted TT would work best?

Two statements made on this thread.

Halcro

Air-borne feedback is very rarely a problem despite what you believe.

Even better would be to add an acoustic shield around the turntable so that it doesn't get affected by the sound pressure from the speakers.

Are these not differing viewpoints?

Hi Johnathan Carr - is your statement based on your real experience with ”shields” or theory ?

Hi Henry – I know you have yelled at your cartridge at a loud decibel and not heard anything back through the speakers ? Do I really need to attempt this as well ?

I rotate different speakers into my room - Dipole, Dynamic cones. Gear placement for one type does not mean the best placement for the other especially if dealing with a smaller room.
I have opinions but would like to hear others real experience. I am planning some modifications to the room. This discussion would be very helpful to me.

Cheers

Chris

Hi Chris,
I get more feedback when I yell at the dog than I do from the cartridge :^)
