Using Maple Butcher Block Under a Turntable


When using a maple butcher block under a turntable, what is below the butcher block?  Cone?  Soborthane pucks?  Does it just lay on the shelf?  What are people using and how of they mounting the block?  How are they mounting the table on the butcher block?

Recently purchased an RPM 9.2 turntable.   Pictured on Icon.   It comes with steel shot inside the plinth.  Best of all, it has three large feet nearly the diameter of a Campbell’s soup can that have big opposing magnets inside such that it actually floats the entire table on a cushion of magnetic resistance, so to speak.  You can push down on one side and it will lean and then gently pop back up level.  Its one of the best vibration isolation systems I’ve seen.  Like floating on air bags but it’s polar magnetism.  No interference anywhere.  I have a music listening room built above my two stall garage and spec’d some hearty beams to span the floor underneath.  It resulted in some low frequency springing when I’d walk across the room towards the table. Like big leaf springs in a truck.  Could not feel it myself, but I could literally see it in my subwoofer, the cone would pulsate with steps.  Not any more.   I’m thinking someone ought to make these type of opposing magnetic feet as an add on tweak.
