A Copernican View of the Turntable System

Dover,
I agree wholeheartedly with you about wall hung shelves for mounting turntables.
They eliminate most of the structure-borne feedback problems which can damage the performance of even the best designed turntables.
I believe even Dertonarm agrees with us on this?
If you read the last page of the latest TAS in an interview with Peter Ledermann of Soundsmith.......he was asked for his most important tips for good audio.
A sturdy wall shelf.... was his answer.
And yes.......a concrete slab on the ground (not suspended).....is far better than a suspended wood floor in resisting structure-borne sound transmission.

Dear Raul,
Thank you for those Links......interesting.
OK.....in the face of some good arguments and experienced listeners I have opened my mind to the possibility of good turntables of the suspended variety?
I really need to hear the top line SME 30/2 sometime?

Dear Raul,

The SME 30/2 a top performer... aua. You are not joking I guess.
Hmm? Ok, I have heard it in a very good Kondo chain in it`s motherland with a mounted SME V. Okay if it is a top performer the Walker is the Giant. Both is not true in my very honest opinion.

Hope this is not the benchmark you draw your comparisons on TTs. But I am afraid you do. Hmmm...

best @ fun only

Dear Thuchan: I can tell you why the SME 30 is a top performer. Please let us know why it is not, if you are complaining about then you have specific reasons to did that. Thank's in advance for your answer.

Regards and enjoy the music,
R.

One of the simplest and cost effective approaches I have seen yet.
