The best stand for an LP12 is the Sound Organisation TT stand that was originally made for the Linn LP12. It is very low cost, and was only about $150 when they were new. I don't know if SO still makes them or not. The LP12 should be on a low height, lightweight, rigid stand. This gives the best results for interfacing with the internal suspension of the table. When I used to sell the Linn tables, we always sold a SO stand with it. It sounds good.
What's your LP-12 on? The sidewalk?
I have a new (to me) LP-12 (pretty loaded -- Lingo, Ekos, T-Kable, etc) sitting on a very solid wood table. I'm willing to go to something more serious, and I wonder what you recommend? I am in a basement with cement walls, so wall mounted racks are not an option.
Here's an idea I have, and maybe someone who knows more about this stuff than I can help. I have, in my garage, a piece of concrete that probably came from a sidewalk repair. It's a hunk of stuff that's about 2 feet by 3 feet by about six inches. I'm thinking that if I could get something appropriate under it so that it were at a decent height and completely level, that it would be very inert. It's gotta weigh 150 pounds. But is inert the way to go with a Linn suspension? Maybe the concrete with something tech-y on the top?
I really can't justify the $1500 for a used Arcici, and while the Rix Rax look great, they too are waaay out of the question.
Thoughts? Help!
