TT to another room, no vibs, better sounds?

Further to the points made by Mafuta and Dougdeacon :

My approach makes no sense if there are continuous or contiguous rigid surfaces or substrates on the ground between sources such as nearby vehicles or industry and the receiver point, where our audio equipment stands are. In my case the concrete base sits on the soil that lies under the listening room.

Unless you are listening in a house next to a freeway or heavy industry, I would say that vibrations affecting your audio gear generated from your speakers will greatly exceed those vibrations that are ground borne.

To be as comprehensive as possible, dedicated suspension systems for individual components and/or suspension of the whole isolated equipment stand base - as is often used for electron microscopes, could be tried.

Dougdeacon,

When I decided to build a Frankentable, still not assembled, it was going to be in my music room which is also inhabited by my subs. Minus K solved my problem and built a platform that would support the 750 lb table; that was 2 years ago.

Since that time The Tape Project and more vinyl turned my room into a used record store. An addition to my music room will hold all the goodies I now have boxed up and stored in my wood shop. I cut two doorways through the 12 inch solid concrete wall that separates the two rooms. The door closest to my listening chair is 16 feet away from where the tt will be in the next room. The floors in both rooms are 8 inch thick concrete and I'm looking forward to getting it all put together.

Now that my table will be in a separate room, I think I could've cut down a bit on the weight and put it on a diet.

Gerrym5,

Too many cables will always be a problem until you just realize that a Bose wave system will solve all your problems!!!!.

Moving gear to another room is a problem unless your system uses balanced interconnects or you have a big bank account. I realize that not many manufacturers offer gear with balanced ins and outs, and the gear that does is usually more pricey; that limits it's availability to many.

Here on Audiogon, and other forums, there are those that justify the cost and sonic benefits of mega buck single ended audio cables. To each his own.

FWIW, 95% my gear is connected with Belden- Quad Star - Mogami cable and Neutrik connectors. The few single ended cables I do use are quality cables, shorter than a few feet, and carry signals that sound fine to my ears.

As you said," learn and pick what works for you."

Granted, and I''m taking your advice in the spirit it was given. The Bose Music System does solve those damn cables I was complaining about. Wouldn't I have to stack around 80 of those puppies in two arrays of 40 each to match anything close to sound we'd like.

Congrats on your magnificent system. So much to admire, especially personally designed/built speakers and turntable.
Awesome.

Balanced helps with noise rejection, but does not necessarily mean resolution will not be affected by the length, IMO.
