Auralex ISO-Tone Turntable Isolation Platform

Hi everyone

I saw this from a solicitation from MusicDirect.

Auralex ISO-Tone Turntable Isolation Platform

I haven't found many reviews on it so I figure I would ask you experts here for your thoughts/comments.

I was thinking about using this under my Thorens TD 125 Mk2 TT. I have a headphone amp on another shelf of my audio rack separate from my TT but whenever I plug my XLR headphones into the amp it causes the tonearm to move.

This platform may help me I think.

Thanks in advance.

At least we agree it's not acoustic isolation. ;-)

But we are not DJs. The primary problem is seismic vibration, the very low frequency stuff, below the frequency capability of speakers.

Mapman, I can never tell when you're being sarcastic. I sense you're not into the whole vibration isolation thing. Pity.

Huh? The pads are not for acoustic isolation. There're for vibration isolation. Hel-loo! Here's the blurb from the web site.

Product Overview

The Auralex ISO-Tone Turntable Isolation Platform is specifically engineered to decouple turntables from the supporting surfaces they rest on. The ISO-Tone diminishes structural vibrations and commonly associated acoustic feedback associated with desktops and DJ cases. Designed for turntablists, mobile DJs, audiophiles, rental houses and anyone seeking enhanced turntable performance, purity and accuracy, the ISO-Tone features a 0.75″ layer of black fabric-wrapped MDF that floats on a layer of Auralex’s proprietary Platfoam that protects turntables from unwanted vibrations. The 17.75″ W x 14.25″ D x 1.75″ H isolation platform accommodates most turntables and the low-profile design enables easy transport.
