Hi,
I built myself a nice Plinth for my Garrard 301 a couple of years ago, based on some stuff I read and heard and assumed. I ended up wit ah cherry/maple/cherry medium mass upper 'sandwich' sitting on ceraballs and then on another maple platform which I then put on two brackets mounted onto a brick wall. I was happy with it overall. Now I have become a dad and the TT will be in a 'protective shelf' style shelf and will have to sit on a surface that will vibrate, room restrictions put the speakers close to the 'rack' (which it really isn't since it does not keep out unwanted vibration).My Garrard does not like sitting too comfy on soft footers (which would protect better against bass boom and such..) but something rigid (like the ceraballs) do not protect sufficiently against bigger vibrations. So I thought about a soft sprung 'subplatter' for the whole system (CD, phono, amp and all..). On top of this there will be more rigid platforms for all sources. Will this affect anything? I am assuming that the further away the 'tweak' is from the source, the less it's sonic impact will be (ceraballs under top plate=mucho impact, sorbothane stuff under subplatter 2 'floor levels' lower=next to none). Am I right or does one hugely affect the other, even though it's 'far away' from the needle?
I hope this doesn't sound too complicated, I just like to avoid a lot of testing
cheers
