Does any Audiogon member have a Holbo air-bearing turntable?

Can I ask what your Holbos are sitting on?  Have you found yours susceptible to external vibrations?

Thanks in advance, Richard

@richardbrand Richard, my Holbo sits on cups underneath the spiked feet, and all of it is sighted atop a BASE isolation platform. This gives a slight bit of isolation from my rack etc. It works great. I do not see or hear any negatives to this at all, but as usual, these things are so questionable at times. 

@frazeur1 

That BASE isolation platform of yours looks like a serious piece of equipment!

I will have to lift my game ...at least in principle.  I do have a sheet of plywood laminated from Indonesian hardwood which is big enough to make four platforms, so I could cut it in half, glue it double, and then cut that in half again and add a constrained damping layer rather like the BASE platform.

Thanks again

As I noted up at the top, mine sits on a dining table--Pier 1, as I recall. While footfalls were a problem when I sited the JVC TT81 there, not so with the Holbo. It might sound better on a dedicated rack, but I don't have the space--it does attest to the ease of placement.

@maxson 

Thanks, that is very reassuring!

I ordered some IsoAccoustics feet for my Garrard project from my normal dealer in Sydney, who said I would not need them if I bought his demo Holbo!  So his experience also suggests placement is easy.

By way of background, the Garrard is sprung (not as softly as a Linn) and I have removed the springs, using lots of mass with constrained damping instead)
