Tonearm mount to the plinth vs arm board vs rotating arm board vs isolated tower
^^^^It's very easy to mess with a used turntable that cost a couple hundred dollars to acquire.  
Tonearm mount to the plinth vs arm board vs rotating arm board vs isolated tower
NandricThose who intend to build an new plinth for their TT's are in differentposition from those who want to keep their TT as is.@nandric NikolaWith these old idlers, (Garrard/Lenco's, etc...) like the OP of this thread is considering rebuilding ... 
Tonearm mount to the plinth vs arm board vs rotating arm board vs isolated tower
The OP in this thread, is asking about an idler. @kanchi647The idlers are one of the crudest, oldest form of turntable, and with them comes.....(based on my personal direct experiences)The most vibrations, least isolation, the most noise. That's ...

ledoux1238Somehow the combination of concrete, raisin, and stone chips doesn't seem to be a good resonance damper. I would like to be enlightened. You are forgetting about the the Air Albert. The resonance of the plinth with its suspension is ab...

@lbelchev oh I have tried to add oil. Unfortunately, unlike my 993, it doesn't take much. 8^(I'm sure it is taking a little. I don't see a debate with the ball. It's a Vibration Resonance (VR) activity to generate a small signal. Adding in additio...

^^^^^^^This so called "Ball"When I first heard of this "ball" years ago, I immediately thought, it is no different than the stories I hear of some people actually using a belt with this thread design. I mean ...why even bother...seriously. Go loo...

^^^^1. The CS Port LFT1 looks like a non-suspension plinth design, with a very heavy slate plinth. The actual resonance control is taken up by the air bearing, whereas the La Platine uses pneumatic footers. If as suggested by @lewm we defeat the p...

chakster I've noticed you've got those AT-616 pneumatic feet under your "naked" SP10 mkII that you're using with tonearm pod.   @chakster  Look again.  the AT616 are no where near the SP10. The Sp10 is held up by Solid SS columns. These colu...

AlbertYou need to see a $50 vintage dd turntable defeat the Gizmo then you will believe me. Blinking lights don't impress me. What I hear with my ears does. My turntable outperforms my Studer now, and the tape deck would need to be hot rodded. ...

Direct Drive vs. Idler Drive vs. Belt drive
at OPScar972 -the three way table comparison is a fun rabbit hole, and in the link I posted earlier of findings years ago, took my mind off of things during a difficult time. Based on current events - go for it ! Only I would strongly recommend as...

@lbelchev well ....I was hoping to make it go a little longer to encourage some out of the box thought. chakster   What is going to happen if you replace your AT 616 footers (which btw I also happen to own) .....and place four blocks of slate mate...
