If your deck (I’ve no idea what it is…) has any kind of suspension system of its own, there’s possible potential to make any inherent resonance issues worse rather than better by removing a route for vibration to be ‘grounded’ to a more massy structure (e.g. rack).
You could be better off improving the deck’s own anti-vibration methods, as per many of the aftermarket upgrades for well-known stuff like LP12s.
I don’t have anything like the expertise to make suggestions here - getting the best from record decks is outwith my own amateur fumblings - but there’s shitloads of info out there for pretty much every TT in existence.
If in doubt, experiment cheaply - e.g. try some foam packing pieces as supports, the dense closed-cell stuff like Puresound amps come in for example. Ditto with scrap rubber/neoprene offcuts rather than nearly £15-worth of hunky blocks.
It’s a very heavy granite bottom plinth,I’d say around 25 kilos with a garrard 401,currently has some sort of solid feet on them.
No idea if tenner or sorbathane would make much difference
Somewhere I’ve got some recycled rubber / shredded-car-tyres sheeting like is used on kiddy play areas nowadays, I’ll bang some in the post if I can find it - worth a try
Just got round to feeling the threaded feet on it.Feels like a firm rubber so will leave it as is.
My ears are rubbish,so would be amazed if I could hear any difference
Looking like plan A at the mo’ - they do sound fantastic, and I just know that next time I wire them up I’m gonna wonder why I ever tried other speakers!
Downside of that is it’ll mean they have to go up two (awkward) flights of stairs, which at 75kg a piece and a thoroughly awkward shape to grip hold of, is something I REALLY don’t want to do…
