What stand does you Turntable sit on?

A Lead Balloon atop the Delta Tower. Legs of the Delta Tower are lead shot filled, and spike fitted. Whole affair sits on a carpet covered wood floor that has been braced from below in basement. Bought it 12 years ago from the then downtown Grand Rapids Audio Advisor. My sister was getting married in GR so I thought I could save some coin on freight by picking it up myself. They were a little surprised at the request but I was given a tour of their site too. Nice people.

Symposium Ultra Shelf with inverted dh labs cones below shelf. Check out ww.symposiumacoustics.com They have a special section just for tutntables (a VPI TNT in this case). Nothing has compared to the symposium stuff for me. The cones and pods were all toys compared to this thing. I have also heard excellent things about the Walker Audio Points.

I use a Mana Reference stand under my Walker Audio tt. Lots of weight on plate glass, but it works.

No matter how I've mass weighted, isoloated,
or whateverated a turntable stand, I find
a wall-mounted shelf to be far superior.
After all, it's bolted to just about the heaviest
thing around you - your house!
The bracket is solidly mounted to the wall,
and the shelf sits on points to help isolate it
from any airborne vibrations (from the speakers).

I had concrete pillars poured into the foundation of the house. These rise through the flooring and support each turntable that i own. The sheer mass of these is nearly immovable, so i need only worry about air-borne vibrations. Sean
