Having soft wood floors, I needed something that would resolve my resonance problem. I used a 3" thick maple platform that I purchased at a specialty store called TJ Maxx in the kitchen section. I then painted it flat black and attached high-end speaker points from Parts Express. I used three of the points with the point end aimed up and the base sits on a 1/4" thick antistatic 3M rubber platform that I picked up at American Science and Surplus. I found the sound to be much improved, especially when humans walk near the turntable and having a weighty 3 inch thick slab of dense wood isolates unwanted resonance.
Adding a maple platform to an existing wood rack
I am considering getting a 3" thick maple platform from either Timbernation or Tony's Woodshop. What is the best way to couple this to the top shelf of my RIX RAX. I now use the 2- shelf Rix stand that is on most of my system page photos. My thought is use Mapleshade Isoblocks or a like product.On a similar thread, a company called Atlanta Vibration pads sell an Isoblock type product for a lot less money. Their product is 1" high, while the Isoblock is 1 3/4" high. I use one suspended table, and one Non-suspended table. My floor is suspended, but has numerous floor jacks below the floor, so it's pretty stable. Lastly, do you think it's overkill to get a 3" platform since the Rix itself has such a substantial top shelf,which is also solid maple. Any suggestions are appreciated.
