Needing To Order Turntable Feet. Looking For Options and Experiences

Time to get some proper feet under the DP80 project. Currently have some temporary ones there. The question is to go hard feet that are pointed, or to go with compliant feet. 

 

The complete table weighs a tad over 50 pounds. The plinth is made from uhmw, an industrial polymer. Not an overly heavy plinth, but by listening sessions it does appear to do a great job in its role. 

One option is a set of magnetic feet I got with my DP75 table that replaced the stock Denon feet. I cannot tell the manufacturer, but AI tells me from an image that they are Michell that predate the Levis feet. I could repurpose them. 

 

I have also looked at these. One set is designed for VP19 turntable weight, which is a similar amount. 

 

I do want an option that allows for leveling. I am curious to learn from other folks experiences.

I like surface mount, even self adhesive. 

Does your plinth have threaded inserts? If so, you can find the max depth and thread spec with help from a decent hardware store.

Hi John - Original feet for the bespoke 75 plinth were fabricated by audioantiquary in Italy. After one failed, they sent me the 4 you have, as you know, I repurposed them interesting they might actually be a Mitchell product. I think you might consider an HRS Helix or Vortex product, both offer a small throw level capability. They are not springs so for even better low frequency isolation they could be paired w a spring base as I did.

my bed to you on your great musical quest

Sturdy, good height range, dark grey, you could paint them bronze or black, install them upside down so the exposed threads at the top, not seen, two sizes

round wood, how much clearance do you need/want?

2" high

3" high, have a shop (or you) cut them to your height, unfinished, stain, or finished, black or ...

you could use the fitting recessed, or surface mounted with the collar down.

 

need to cut the threaded rod? put two nuts on it, cut with a hack saw, when you remove the nuts they straighten the threads for you.
