Platform for VPI super scoutmaster

A used electron microscope table would be the a good choice, but most cost about $20K. Oh, what is a guy to do?

Schipo,
The steadywash platform works to prevent the vibrations from the washing machine from transferring into the floor. That's the opposite of what you want to accomplish with an audio platform; i.e., you want to prevent any floor-borne vibrations from entering the system. How do you know the platform would actually work in the opposite direction?

I liked using threaded brass feet in place of the stock ones. Also VPI's stand is good, although costly. I used a 4" maple cutting board on top of mine.

Icorem...Just looked...sure does ...but that's an old picture. I use Bearpaws under the turntable now with a great improvement. I have the rim drive Superscoutmaster which rocked the arm back and forth until I discovered that the Superplatter could not be made perfectly round. Harry tried various things to prevent the rotating rim drive from pushing the table back and forth because of the non-round Superplatter, but could not find the key. I on the other hand found out that if I solidly support the turntable and allow the motor assembly to slightly sway back and forth, the arm stopped dancing and the sound greatly improved. The addition of the Classic platter was again a very large improvement.

For those interested in rim drive motor systems the Teres Verus motor system is less likely to cause set up problems like Stringren encountered because the motor is supported by two feet and it slightly leans against the platter and it can adjust to slight irregularities with the aid of gravity. My Verus motor system was easy to install and has performed extremely well for many years.
