I am moving my equipment, including a turntable, to a room other than where I have my speakers. I have a wooden floor, with a crawl-space below. I have to drill holes thru the floor to run speaker cables underneath. I was thinking of drilling 4 more holes, each for one leg of my stand, and running rebar, or similar material right down into the ground, and suspending my stand on those steel rods with no floor contact. Thus, for vibration purposes, I am truly grounded, and the washer and dryer on other side of the wall will not affect my system. Thoughts?
Isolation stands: snakeoil?
I understand that turntables are uniquely effected by vibrations due thier sensitivity to that kind of energy. But here’s the thing: most turntables, especially decent ones, have vibration control measures built into them via footers and various construction techniques. So, the question is: are turntable stands / shelves with isolation features actually beneficial or are they just horrendously overpriced accessories for audiophiles?
