Technics SL1200 Footer thread size?

I have no interest in Parts Express, Dayton or Adona cones...especially those with the adjustable tips at the end of the cones. These brass footers do not drain vibration as effectively as solid AudioPoints or Mapleshade footers. I've owned the Adona cones, and they're flimsy.

Are the Isonoe footers available with a home trial? I was under the impression the KAB stuff is basically "you-buy-it-you-own-it".

If you go here, it spells the return policy out under the heading, "Returns." So in addition to return shipping there'd be a 6% re-stocking fee:

RETURNS

There is a 6% restocking charge applied to all returns. Scratched or otherwise abused products are not returnable. Books, Phono cartridges and Styli are not returnable. Exception for cartridges and styli, if they are returned unopened. Please call before returning merchandise to discuss your particular situation. Shipping charges are not refundable.

The isonoe website also lists Modwright as a dealer. Assuming they have any in stock, maybe they have a more generous return policy.

Thanks for checking on that.

I'll contact Dan.

What do you mean by "...platformed my SL12x0"?

Maybe you are referring to your cuttingboard?

Which is my other question: What does your cuttingboard sit on? rack? are there any other isolation devices in the stackup?

I am still on the stock feet, and my TT is on cuttingboard too.

thanks,
ed

Yes, I'm referring to the cutting board. I know it's not very sophisticated, but I'm doing this on a shoestring and it works well for the money. I got the cutting board from Ikea for $25. I have Parts Express Dayton solid brass cones screwed into the bottom of the turntable in place of the Technics feet.
The SL12x0 sits on a 15"x17"x1.75" butcher block cutting board, and about 8 Vibrapod feet are under the cutting board, isolating the cutting board and turntable from the rack shelf it's all sitting on.

So from top to bottom, it's turntable-->brass cones-->cutting board-->Vibrapods-->rack shelf.
