For an easy fix, cram a few paperback books behind the rack or furniture the 'table sits on (as close to the top of the rack as possible) so that the wall will essentially brace the rack and keep it from moving too much as the floor bounces. The more tightly you can wedge the books in there, the better. Fremer mentioned this somewhere on Analog Planet, and it works.
Turntable on suspended floor - shelf or braces?
My setup is on a suspended floor over a crawl space.
I'm about to finally buy a turntable (Rega RP6 or RP8) and am going to have to to address the bouncy floor. I set up an old Thorens just to try it out and there is a severe foot-fall issues (who knows how bad other vibration will be).
Looking for suggestions on whether I would be better off to put the new deck on a wall shelf, or if I were to reinforce the floor itself?
The floor is over a crawl space with a few feet between the joists and the dirt, so I could easily install 3 or 4 jack-type supports that would bond the floor to the ground.
Does anyone have experience doing this? Would I be better off with a supported floor, or a wall shelf?
Thanks - djm
