Vibration Isolation for Rega P3


I just bought a Rega P3. It’s sitting on a ¼ inch glass shelf on top of a three legged equipment stand (steel/glass_shelves.) The stand is heavily loaded with my HT components. The floor is wood and I live in a wood framed house. I do not have a problem with feed back from walking around but I am sure vibrations are getting to the TT.

Replacing the equipment stand is NOT an option (WAF)!

Which of the following is the best thing to do.

1: Nothing
2: Custom maple shelf on cones.
3: Thick Acrylic shelf on cones.
4: Boston Audio vibration absorbers under Rega
5: Ginako Cloud 10.

How about some sorbothane, available in a variety of thicknesses and densities? You can buy it from industrial suppliers, or pre-cut and repackaged from a few audio dealers who specialize in analog gear.
I like the Neuance platform suggestion in addition to my sorbothane idea.

I use a Neuance under my CD player. A friend uses Neuance platforms under his CD player and amplifier. The Neuance was originally developed for turntable isolation and it comes with a 30 day money back guarantee. They are reasonably priced at around $200. It's a simple, elegant solution and well worth the effort to audition.
