Isolation Advice Needed

I was able to hammer two vertical beams into place in the basement so they support the wood floor in our living / listening room, beneath the rack and speakers. Result: we can jump in front the player without the cartridge skipping, and have no problems with footfalls, dancing, gym, etc. Probably my best feet/damping/platform investment ever.

Thank you all for all the great suggestions.

Best Regards

I'm a big fan of Townshend audio isolation products.  Effective isolation of each component can get expensive.  I use the Townshend podiums on my speakers but they have "seismic corners that can be used on an equipment rack.

Let me say this: If you don't have a well supported wood floor in the first place underneath your house, then adding layers of weight (read more sag) with whatever type of flooring material will likely be in vain. 

 I know that there are other issues of concern with a concrete floor, yet it would be my preference to deal with.

@oldaudiophile wall mount is a no-go, no load bearing wall to not sturdy. I really like the P6, especially with the new Audiomods tonearm. I have a soft corner for vintage Tandberg gear, specifically their magnetic players. Have accumulated a lot of spares and learnt how to on these machines to keep them going. Had a Revox PR99 MKII but Tandberg beat is in SQ. Both are high speed 2-Tr machines.

@retiredfarmer good idea but I don’t think I’m allowed to 🙂

@o_holter Thank you, that’s one of the backup solutions

@goose Thank you, Townshend podiums and isolation corners look very interesting. Will do more research. The demo video is impressive.

@4krowme No floor bounce at this time and there are piers under girders at 8ft spans.
