Hi

When playing bass heavy music i can feel the vibration when touching the plint.
I have pushet the speakers as far away from the turntable as possible to avoid feedback, but I am constrained to this setup where I live know.

Should I focus on isolating the speakers or the turntable, or both?

Turntable is Rega Planar 2 (2016)
Delrin sub-platter
White belt
LP Gear CARBON FIDELITY CFN3600LE stylus

PRO-JECT PHONO BOX S

Denon AVR-X1100W

Dali Opticon 2

Welcome!  There are many products out there (depends on your budget - e.g.  https://www.ginkgoaudio.com/  or  https://www.crutchfield.com/brands/isoacoustics.aspx?us=1&osp=isoacoustics
   among many others)  Obviously, speakers will transmit vibrations when not isolated and electromechanical devices like a turntable can especially be impacted.  You can always start with isolating the turntable and then decide where else to go from there.

You can do both, I know you say you are constraint but really you need to get those speakers off the same surface the record player is on. Or you can look into mounting your record player on the wall, I believe Rega make their own wall mounting record shelf.

Thanks for the warm welcome guys.

For the time being all components will be placed where they are. The bench are quite heavy and the floor is solid, so it is a pretty solid base.

I have read about the isoacoustics and maybe https://www.crutchfield.com/p_892ISPMIN/IsoAcoustics-ISO-PUCK-mini.html?cc=07&tp=98058 will be great for my speakers for a start?

HERBIE'S AUDIO LAB also seems to be a popular choice.

Maybee https://herbiesaudiolab.com/collections/component-isolation/products/tenderfoot?variant=12643255484471 for the turntable?

Since my setup not is of the most expensive I will prefer most bang for the bucks alternatives

If you aren't moving one of them then you have to isolate both pieces from each other. Best to put pucks under each but then watch the rotation of the TT and resonant frequency of the puck so as not to start an oscillation.

Using your words then “most bang for the bucks” would be what I recommended before which is Rega Wall mount. Not sure of your location, but here it is on Amazon UK.

I also would recommend wall mounting the tt. The heavy cabinet and solid floors has absolutely nothing to do with the resonance feedback you get into the tt. I went a diy route to wall mount mine a while back with heavy bookshelf mounts, a sheet of mdf, painted it black and stuck some automotive sound deadening pad to the top layer for further isolation. Worked like a charm and it was cheap. 

The other problem is the turntable being placed right at the wall between the speakers that while esthetically it looks good and is convenient, it picks up a ton of the same low frequency energy through the air as well. If you have the option to move it out from right between the speakers against the front wall, that will help you a lot as well.

Even after those changes, I myself would isolate both the tt and the speakers. Seems to be a growing trend for speaker isolation platforms & pods.
