Not sure is this is relevant, but I bought an older but clean Linn table a few years back and stuck on top of my rack where it was NOT happy...then (of course) read the "official" manual which suggested a lower firm table and it's worked perfectly since. Low mass, level, sturdy table...done. Got lucky I suppose.
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
