herman: sonotubes are hollow forms made from heavy layers of paper/cardboard that are used to construct concrete piers. you can get em' at most construction supply stores. BTW, if you were actually to engage in such a project, you would need to anchor the piers to the slab. i'm no construction engineer but i'd look to using long bolts drilled into the slab and fastened down with appropriate hardware. -cfb
Suspended vs. Non Suspended TT on Concrete Floor
Am considering purchasing a Clearaudio Reference or Master Reference table that would sit on a large Polycrystal amp stand. The stand will sit directly on a carpeted concrete slab basement floor. The speakers, which are about even w/ the turntable are about 9ft. apart (4.5 from the table). Would the high mass/weight/coned design of the Clearaudio tables need, or benefit significantly from, further isolation like a Vibraplane or other like device. Your advice is appreciated.
