Auralex ISO-Tone Turntable Isolation Platform

Hi everyone

I saw this from a solicitation from MusicDirect.

Auralex ISO-Tone Turntable Isolation Platform

I haven't found many reviews on it so I figure I would ask you experts here for your thoughts/comments.

I was thinking about using this under my Thorens TD 125 Mk2 TT. I have a headphone amp on another shelf of my audio rack separate from my TT but whenever I plug my XLR headphones into the amp it causes the tonearm to move.

This platform may help me I think.

Thanks in advance.

The sound of the system playing produces the vibrations that you are isolating against. There might be other sources of vibrations as well but typically that is the big one.

There, that was not so hard was it? :^)

At least we agree it's not acoustic isolation. ;-)

If you are a DJ and the woofers are pumping, those sound waves are going to vibrate the TT platform. That was my meaning of acoustic vibration and feedback; an external cause of vibration.
Obviously I failed to properly explain it.

3 Hail Marys and an act of contrition for me.

But we are not DJs. The primary problem is seismic vibration, the very low frequency stuff, below the frequency capability of speakers.

"The primary problem is seismic vibration"

No doubt. Darn planet! Just full of snafus. And we haven't even gotten to the topic of Tsunamis or massive earthquakes yet. That can be a really big problem for one's hifi!!!! Especially the turntable!!
