turntable isolation feet

Noromance (funny name)
Can you be more specific regarding the brass bushing rings you used. I searched but everything looks like a pipe fitting...

Yeah... they are small brass compression rings. Ideal as they have low mass but are rigid and have relatively sharp edges. And they are brass which can sound good.

After 20+ years of trial and error with over 15 TTs owned I've come to the following conclusion, 3 adjustable brass cone footers sitting on top of a sandbox. I made my own sandbox for $22.00 and I currently use Dyton Audio adjustable brass cone footers that I bought on eBay for $35.00 including s/h.

I really Like the Isolation system from mapleshade. It uses 4 Iso blocks and a big 2" thick piece of maple and 3 brass footers. All for around $130. I love this under my REGA.

Ah, the age old question: is it isolation or coupling? The big boys couple to the isolation stand with cones and also couple the isolation stand to the floor. To make things much more complicated, there is a hierarchy of cone materials, in order of desirability something along the lines of ceramics, steel, aluminum and brass. Generally speaking of course.
