Well i will start by saying-i really have no idea what im doing. Didnt do much research on Turntable Isolation. 1) i found a free butcher block table on Clist. 2) i cut it to a size that i think works with the temporary stand ive been using for 2 years now :( cause money is tight. 3) sanded it down a few times 4) put 3 coats of Danish Oil i had left over from another project. 5) let it dry for the night & slid it under the Technics tt this after noon when the wifey got home for work. Havent tried it yet cause she is studying college stuff & that means i be quiet :( So im looking forward to see if it helps (not that it didnt work well already) ive read some here n there it helps & it looks sturdy'r. So i probably have nothing to losez72vy35exoj6.jpg

    I like what your doing Randy! let me know how it works out

    I've tried a few things myself, 1 was to use some pangea sorbothane feet on my TT, and a music hall decoupling mat & a acrylic platter.638p2xtwz6w4.jpg

    They recommend no clamp for the mat but I still like to use one on my LP's.

    ^^^^ What is the clamp for ? The Mat ? Not sure ive ever seen one. Or does it help on newer mat's ? Thanks for the feet idea. When i got back into tt's a few years ago i remember reading somewhere about upgrading the stock feet. Probably worth the cheap $$$

    its just the weight or record puck that helps stabilize the record.bdwu8bi1e1as.jpg

    the feet come in 2 sizes...did not think the clamp picture was that big.

    put those feet under the butcher block. then put some smaller/same ones under the turn table. I have used Audioquest sorbathane feet for years under my CD player they work plain and simple. betting after you could body slam someone in the room and no skippy ...

    Got a new to me rack today. Was at Salvation Army with Rebecca looking for books & spotted this for 29.99 so i snagged it. Looks much better in person than pic. Fits the gear perfect

    Yes that Pioneer is one sweet unit. Just had it overhauled & well worth the coin
