Isolation platform for non suspended turntable?


I am currently using an SME 10 turntable on the top tier shelf of a Sanus System CF-5 component rack. I have heard recommendations for the Townshend seismic sink, Bright Star Audio componenets (e.g. Air mass 3 in conjunction with a BIG ROCK,), and Symposium Ultra isolation platform. I also hear the Sound of Silence products are very good but are a little pricey. Do any of the Audiogon members have any suggestions/recommendations?

Adding a spring-type base, or one with rubber, or one with air bladders, is simply making your turntable a suspended turntable, instead of an unsuspended one.

If you want to make the most of your unsuspended turntable, then you should look at stands which are generally suited to unsuspended turntable use. These would generally be a high-mass rigid stand that is relatively low to the floor, but still high enough to be convenient for changing records.

Adding a suspension under a TT, has never had any attraction for me.
