Best sturdy floor rack for turntable


Hi guys

i own a Brinkmann Balance tt that until recently was mounted on a wall shelf and sat on a granite slab (the granite slab being recommended by Brinkmann).

For (sad) aesthetic reasons I’ve had to lose the wall bracket and the tt will have to slum it on a floor rack.

Is there anything out there that gives good isolation from the floor (wooden floorboards under carpet) ?

I can sort out the mechanical vibrations with a variety of options such as HRS etc but the main problem I foresee is getting something that isn’t intrinsically wobbly....

Needs to be readily available in UK so esoteric stuff in the US unlikely to be much use !

cheers 👍

If you're into DIY you could build this from cast concrete and sand very affordably https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/8367  Outstanding performance. Or you could use these springs https://www.amazon.com/Nobsound-Aluminum-Speakers-Isolation-Amplifiers/dp/B07K9ZYP84 with just about any rack. Or look for a quality rack that incorporates springs into the shelves.
You don’t happen to have a spec for that Solution Turntable rack by any chance ? I’m not much good at diy but I know a man who is ...!

I've never seen this.  Can you point to an example?

Wooden floors full range big speakers that go low, bad combo for turntables on anything that sits on a wooden floor.
I had similar back in my Linn LP12 days, very frustrating.
The answer for me, after trying everything, was to suspend the turntable by 4 thin chains or you could use fishing lines from the ceiling, that stopped all mechanical feedback coming up from the floor and it sounded very tight in the bass.
