Turntable in cabinet


For a variety of reasons (kids, cat, spouse) my LP-12 will continue to reside in a built-in cabinet for some time. To make matters worse, the cabinet is near a corner in close proximety to the sub-woofer. I have successfully isolated the TT from the cabinet itself (TT on lightweight shelf on spikes on 1 1/2" plywood shelf on spikes on aluminum angles mounted to sides of cabinet interior).

However, I'd like to dampen any resonances within the cabinet itself if at all possible. Can anyone recommend something that could be applied to the cabinet interior to do so?

Thanks!

Not sure if your situation will permit but take a look at my system photos for a possible solution. What you will see is a target PS-1 wall mount shelf that passes through the back of the cabinet and is bolted to 5/8" birch ply that itself is screwed to the wall studs. Turntable sits inside the cabinet away from prying hands but is not influenced by cabinet resonances at all. In fact, the walls of the cabinet actually protect the table from airborne resonances. Not that hard to do--took me a few hours with my father in law assisting.
