Butcher Block Acoustics


I wanted to give a sounding shout-out to Butcher Block Acoustics. I placed an order Saturday and expected to receive the turntable isolation platform in the next few weeks due to some of the lingering shortages. Nope. Same day shipped and pickup by USPS (on a Saturday!). Item arrived in two days as being in the same state and safe as can be. I can't believe I was looking to upgrade my cartridge and preamp before giving turntable isolation even the slightest of a shot. I figured my Solid Steel S3 rack had things handled... I was thoroughly wrong. Absolutely 100% wrong. Isolation is such a fantastic upgrade and the  3" Butcher block with simple rubber isolation feet have gotten me to where I need to be.  Thank you Butcher Block Acoustics crew!

One of the few audio tweaks than can also be used for food prep.

 

Then there's the Class A amps that you can fry on egg on.......

A friend of mine visited Boulder Audio. They have a room to burn in their amps at full output for days and visitors are ask to be very careful not to touch them as they are so hot they can burn you… good place to cook breakfast.

@clearthinker , I hate to be a stick in the mud (not really) but the earth moves, all the time. Try putting your stylus down on a stationary record and turn the volume all the way up keeping your eye on your woofers.  The best isolation is spring loading with a very low resonance point. You need to stick your turntable on a MinusK stand.

As for these butcher block isolation platforms it is unlikely that the rubber feet are going to have a resonance frequency low enough to do the entire job. Lower frequencies are going to get through such as foot fall issues. 

@mijostyn the rubber feet seem to be blocking more frequencies than the mass loading spiked feet on my turntable as well as the solid steel rack. Works for me!
