DIY TT isolation

Would like to know the vinyl gurus thoughts. I know I will be told to wall mount my TT but I don't have the luxury. I think my GF would flip if I mounted the TT to the living room wall.

Thinking of using either butcher block or a piece of granite under the TT followed by sorbothane cones or pads. Maybe even rubber bumpers. I also have ebony spike feet and stainless ball bearings. I'm wanting to experiment and hear others thoughts. I can pretty much stomp on the floor and get no noise. Any tapping of the audio rack and I get the "bong, bong" through the speakers.

I did just upgrade my ikea rack to a free tv stand I got from a friend. Has solid wood end caps, steel frame and tempered glass shelves with suction cups between the glass and steel frame. Very heavy, even heavier loaded up.

Looking for budget tweaks, so let's keep it under a hundred bucks. Or no bucks if it's not worth it.

    Used tire with a granite slab on top? :)

    Definitely the cheapest way!

    Here is some info from a post I made earlier this year....hope it helps...

    "As far as the TT is concerned...I was planning to wall mount, but as I looked at the project more closely...it just wasn't going to be feasible.

    So I came up with an idea and it worked. #5 vibrapods on the feet of the audio rack, large sorbothane balls on top of the rack for the first shelf to sit on, mini sorbothane balls between the two shelves and #2 vibrapods under the TT feet. I know that's a lot of messing around, but I am able to jump and stomp with NO skips. I was stomping so hard I thought pictures were going to start falling off the walls :)"

    Essentially, I just stacked those shelves with sorbothane balls or vibrapods (doesn't really matter which) in between them.

    It made a significant difference regarding footfalls. (I also put a set of vibrapods under the entire entertainment stand)

    The idea I may be running with is similar to yours. Going to use a 2 inch thick 6kg piece of Boucher board with sorbothane hemispheres stuck to the bottom of each corner. Trying to figure out if butcher block or granite will be better. Thanks @hochpt21

    Sandbox with floating butcher block or marble slab feasible?

    I am still using these Magic Erasers as they are too dangerous for cleaning a stylus.

    I am not kidding these are like dead mush and cheap too

    I do exactly what you suggested, a thick slab of butcher block and vibration pads under it. Works great.c9kshfjtcf7d.jpeg

    From my research Turns out granite is very resonant?

    First level, that is where I am using the magic erasers under the butcher block and then vibrapods under an mdf piece and then the TT is sitting on those little blue/black squares. It wont pass a stomp test, my floors are like a drum but none of the vibration reaches the TT. I can feel it deminish as you go up each level.

    I believe we have the same TT as well. Teac right?

    Yes I think so and I am not kidding about the erasers, they really deaden vibration. I get more ambient resonance to the TT than what comes through the rack. I sit a stress ball on the dust cover and it mostly kills it.

    I'd recommend the one I got over the one you're recommending. Product details have yours at 2" thick. The one I got is 3.5" thick. For the extra few bucks you get a much heavier board.

    I just received a 24x18x3 Cutting Board last week, I'm using it as a TT base also (my table has a big footprint) I will be isolating it with some Sorbothane pads.

    I was so impressed with the quality of the Cutting Board (Michigan Maple brand) I have two smaller ones coming that I'm going to use as amp stands.

    I definitely agree. But that board shipped to Canada with conversion would be around 160 bucks! Trying to keep this around 100$ cad. I scowered the earth for a board that's big enough.

    As in earth I meant Canada. Now use 4 sorbothane hemispheres or 3? Guessing 3 will be better.

    Make sure to get a size that is proper for the weight you plan on supporting. That will make a difference if you go with 3 vs 4.

    Good call. Mine support up to 14 pounds each. TT and butcher block = around 25 pounds.

    This is what I ended up with. Turned out to be a very worthwhile mod for about 100 bucks. Oiled the board up with orange oil, and looks great! Sounds even better! No noise!
