Stillpoints under a turntable?


Are any of you using stillpoint mini's under your TT? How's it working?
Thanks

Sprung chaises will do fine. An unsprung table might do best with some kind of rubber based material.
Schipo: I have to strongly disagree. Any kind of rubber based material 'anywhere' in the component chain is a no-no.
It traps/stores energy, does not dissipate.
Hi, I use ULTRAs under a Kenwood KD500 (extensively modified and upgraded from all aspects), as well as on a VPI Super Scoutmaster. Excellent results with both. Everything in that front end better be right, or will hear it- good and bad.
Spent the last 25 years in this business- last 12 years in manufacturing. Also worked closely with the people at Stillpoints.

Good luck and take care,

Dan
I use the original Stillpoints with Risers and inverted cups beneath my Teres 320 (85-90lb, unsprung) turntable. They provide a significant lowering of the sound floor vs. the supplied spikes, at the cost of a *slight* diminution of macro-dynamic punch and bass slam. As with most things in audio, it's a tradeoff, but they're a net gain for *this* table in *my* system to *my* ears. Would they do the same beneath another table, in another system or to another's ears? YMMV.

P.S. Agree with Slaw regarding rubber(ish) materials beneath a TT, or anywhere near one. I've tried Sorbothane, Vibrapods and similar in various places beneath my TTs and around my tonearms. The results were decidedly negative: no sonic benefit but loads of added mud. I suppose YMMV, but having heard no audible benefit and serious sonic detriments in several setups, I believe the odds are against it.
