A turntable is a complex system and any vibration can affect the sound. I also found that VPIs were improved by adding brass cones; I used a different brand but would expect to get a similar result from the Bearpaws. Any table will be affected by external vibrations whatever the drive mechanism but there are differences. A massive table like the Aries Extended worked very well on a very heavy Star Sound rack but the LP 12 works better on a very lightweight torlite stand.
turntable isolation feet
Which isolation feet work better? Rubber, metal cone, ...?
Does it depend upon turntable styles -- belt drive, direct drive, idler wheel?
I've found many isolation feet made of rubber or metal under $20 in eBay. What would be your best pick for turntable isolation feet for under $50?
Thanks in advance.
