The best and cheapest vibration absorbing feet for turntable

We’ve experimented with all kinds of materials to improve the sound of Dual 1245 turntable. Fantastic! The swimming pool closed cell noodle 2 inch in diameter is truly the best performer increasing the sound definition of this set up.

I did this myself, without ever knowing this video existed. My Dual 1237 is not the heaviest plinth on earth, but it managed to crush the pool noodle disks I cut for the four corners of the turntable. Also, while it did help with some vibration, my turntable would still jump if I hit the dresser lightly (no other place to put the turntable in my computer room).

This a great tip . One for u is my home made audio sandbox box. It worn fantastically

[llewellyn]

Thank you sir. So true. Doesn’t matter $1000 absorber platform a noodle at Walmart three dollars they both look the same.

This is the way to go; simple expedient and it will work

Superb!..did-it w/my DUAL 1264, flutter with 'Platter Matter' on down by 4%. Almost free solution to go lower than best DUAL 1264 specs after 14% reduction of use of platter matter.

What worked for me was placing 2 layers of bubble wrap underneath a granite tile the same size as the turntable.. Voila!

[LeeTanczos]

are you in same room as the microphone :-) good tips, I have cut rubber balls in half and placed under heavy equipment. looking for something for loudspeaker cabinet... many mention blu-tac - but I didnt find any engineering assessments of the method yet!

Pool noodles are good for putting at the back of open bookshelves behind your records.

[curtbradley]

great another 1 is cork coffee cup holders !!place under feet upside down .done.

buy a pack of cleaning sponges about 1 inch thick. no cutting required. grab the ones with 2 types of sponge on each sponge... ive done this and they work great, add one in the middle for better results, if the bottom of your turntable isn't flat, use two cutting boards with the groves for blood. place marbles in the blood track so the cutting boards are elevated by the marbles, and use the sponges under the sandwiched marbles cutting boards, now you have dual frequency isolation board for less that 50$ depending how much you spend on the cutting boards.

...or tennis balustrady cut in half. Also cheap and effective.

When i walk heavy on my hardwood flood the record skips u think this will work?

[bryanotero]

Hey that record looks so Hot what the name of its model.

Great tip but your speakers are not the most important part of your system. The most important part is the source, that is your turntable or CD player. Remember garbage in garbage out. No matter how good your speakers they only sound as good as what you feed into them.

Good idea but all I can say is "Sorbothane" hemispheres.
