I've taken a slightly different approach. We have a local kitchen and bath installation and manufacturing company that specializes in all types of natural and man made stone. They have a remnants yard that has various sized left over slabs of the raw material they install. I have had them cut and polish quartz bases that are 1 1/2" thick and closely match the bases on my three turntables. I use 3" x 3" isolating mat under the slabs corners and the isolating bases that come with the turntables. I have literally jumped up and down next to all three turntables and cannot cause a needle to skip or jump. Cost less than $300 for all three bases. |
@bba - I'm cheap and lazy. Went to Amazon and picked up a maple (mable?) butcher block end grain board about the same size as my table. I have a few different materials to try under the board including a couple of different types / shapes / thicknesses of sorbothane, a lifetime supply of different Vibrapod products (pucks and cones), cones, felt pads, mouse pads, bags of lead shot.... Long list of stuff. I just wanted some suggestions on what others are using successfully to help shorten the experimenting. |
