Using Maple Butcher Block Under a Turntable

@nandric , I had to look it up to type it so I can assume that anyone that has a computer could do the same.

I start out with my trusty, fully loaded with lead shot and sand, Lead Balloon by Arcci then I place my maple platform directly on top of the Lead Ballons turntable support shelf which has adjustable spikes to level things out then I place a Symposium Seque ISO platform on top of the maple shelf and then I place my turntable on top of that. This setup really works very well for my setup which is a VPI Prime with peripheral ring and Single Motor Flywheel.

@nandric , stop it.

@nandric . It was hard to type my response as I was LMAO.

@toddbrom, it’s amazing where you can hear the benefits of the product dynamat, I keep a roll around and love it

@tuzarupa, I have long abandoned the Lead bars supplied by Arcci, found them to rob the liveliness from the table and I also tend to find brass and carbon fiber to have the same negative effect when it comes to setting up my tables. 

@tuzarupa, small world, the table I had in play when I purchased my Lead Ballon was an AR EB101 and it seemed to work well for that set up, but what did I know. I just pulled my Arcci LB out of the attic a few years ago when I bought my Prime to replace a Scoutmaster that was inside my Salamander cabinet and the Prime would not fit, I sandblasted it, powder coated, added a middle support for a shelf at dead center and installed  2" maple shelves to support my tube mono amps to let them breath also adding mass to the structure by their shear weight also replaced the Iso Physics tone cones on the bottom with Herbies Giant Threaded Stud Gliders finally loading the legs of the stand with a mix of sand and Lead shot. Although I was just looking for a temporary set up to get me by the results have been stunning allowing me to move on to other things.
