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?

@jbrrp1 I'd missed your post, sorry

btw have you tried changing the power cable on your Herzan? Shouldn't make a difference but it does! I've only gone up to a $300 or so cable, I can't find it in myself to go further (although maybe I'll try if I liberate a spare from the rest of my system)
folkfreak That is one impressive system! What's the distance between the listening position and the speakers?
For heavens sake PLEASE stop empowering the OP!

His threads should come with a warning sign....

Please do not feed the trolls!


@john_g its about 8-9’ from speakers to listening seat. A near field configuration but the walls are all designed and built to minimize issues so it’s as if the front wall really disappears
