You might look into a wall mount shelf or even consider a DIY wall mount design.
Hi. You might try to decouple the TT from the surface below. Or decouple the rack, shelf or whatever TT sits on from floor. We use a sandbox that has a wood plinth which TT sits upon. That box is decoulped from the stand below it. The stand as well. Do you have suspended wood floors ? charles
Thanks for the quick reply! A wall mount shelf would be great but is unfortunately not feasible with our current living room setup. Would a vibration platform under the table offer any benefit?
Using a sandbox according to Harry Pearson and Scott Markwell formerly of the Absolute Sound is a valid solution for isolation. Scott still uses one and Harry RIP. Scott of Elite Distribution recommends to his Kuzma clients exactly that. Remember sandbox must be decoulped as well from surface below. None available commercially though. So if ya can firm up that suspended floor first. As stated firming up the suspended floor if accessible from below will help as well. Bouncy floor bouncy TT arm. As suggested double check tracking force as well. Everything matters. Have fun.charles
Thank you all for your input! Unfortunately, we live on the second floor of a condo building with neighbors beneath us, so I don't think that doing anything to the floor is a possibility for us. Also, I'm pretty sure my wife would not approve of me tearing up the floor in that area of the living room for the purpose of reducing vibration in my turntable!
Seems like you have a low mass turntable/rack and soft floors, a bad combination. It amazes me after a 100+ years how poorly the suspensions of quality turntables are designed. Footers must be carefully selected to be effective, look for very soft support. You might consider a softly inflated air bladder.Elizabeth is on another good track, but not for your situation. Why can't you hang off the hopefully stiff wall that doesn't adjoin a gym (just a few small holes needed). Another option is to suspend from the ceiling (if the space above is unoccupied) with thin wires and toggle bolts.
