Wtd: 3 (or 4) Isolation feet for my TT2

Worth noting that this thing;

Is about double the price of the Minus K (it’s £10,250 UK RRP). In it’s partial defence it can do the same things at the Minus K, has a 60Kg payload (which is a lot higher than the small Minus K platforms) and can self level (which the Minus K can’t).

I have to be honest, one of these and a Rega Naia would be £23,375. That’s a lot… but I’d fancy its chances against most TTs under £30k.

The accepted wisdom is to re mortgage. Moving is stress

Anyone considering re-mortgaging in order to conjure up £10,000 for a turntable isolation platform needs to take a long hard look in the mirror and ask themselves some searching questions starting with: “Am I a total fucking loon?”

Cheaper to relocate it to Fetlar if you wanted real isolation?

Agreed.
Should go for £30,000 and get a watch as well.

This is very much the spirit. The worst sense is common sense.

In its defence it is less than the excellent Kuzma Zerovibe, but that can self level a Kuzma XL Air TT which weighs a metric F*ton (120kg)

Just not a very good watch

Seismion do an XL that runs up to 150kg, and I think it’s only about 20% more than the regular version.

My concern with this is the turntable already has two resonant systems. It’s own sprung suspension, there to isolate the subchassis/bearing/platter and tonearm from motor noise and external vibration. Typically this filter is set at about 4 Hz.There’s also the arm cartridge resonance where the effective mass of the arm and the sprung compliance within the cartridge typically filters out movement below about 10-11 Hz. I just have concerns about introducing a third compliant filter that could be excited by something else.

Get a joiner in to fix the floor??

Guess all I can say is nothing ventured, nothing gained. Everything else is set up so well, its annoying that a couple of sprung floorboards occasionally ruin it.

Counter sink a couple wood screws in the offending boards, then a bit of filler, and stain to match?

Unfortunately, they are in the middle of a room, under fitted carpet / underlay :frowning:

Even better! Pull one corner/side back, insert screws, relay carpet into grippers.
