It is folly to spend a lot of money on any platform (many of them do not work) for such an inexpensive turntable. Buy a Sota Sapphire instead and all your problems will disappear.
I Have Airborne Feedback And Never Realized It...Till Now
While my ZYX Airy is out for a rebuild, I hooked up my CAL cd player/transport and started playing CD`s that I had recorded from vinyl using a Tascam 900.
When I do the recording, nothing is on but the TT setup and the recorder. Room is dead silent. No speakers
I`ve been listening to a disc or two over the last few nights.
Last night, I was listening to a CD I made of Lindsey Stirling`s 'Shatter Me' LP
I was hearing so many odd/different sounds that I never picked up on before using the TT.
For example, I heard growling sounds (seriously) back ground noises and other THINGS that all were hidden when I was playing the TT.
This LP is Bass Heavy! Lots of energy in the air. With 3 15" subs I know that.
My TT is pretty much isolated IMO
I use a Rega wall mount bracket that is bolted to my equipment rack not the wall.
I have the TT sitting on a SRM isolation platform that sits on the Rega bracket
Concrete slab floor.
No doubt the cartridge is picking up on all energy that and resubmitting it.
This won`t be an easy fix I`m afraid.. :(

I do not think that any platform/turntable can make physics laws to disappear. If as I guess most of us do not play TT and also have 3x15" subwoofers and are able to play far below 20 Hz.. That is little of a precondition here.. what I am talking about.. http://www.mh-audio.nl/Calculators/RF.html |
Audio-Technica designed pneumatic insulators (AT-616) long time ago and this is still the best solution for turntables under 60kg weight. |
Here is a far less expensive, not to mention easier way. Take some rubber grommets and use however many between the wall and the turntable shelf/mount. Upon tightening the screws/bolts (what have you) to the wall, the grommets will compress and provide the needed absorption, and or vibration dampening. Rubber washers would work as well.... |
