Granite slabs under yer speakers...

[Reffc]

I bought two granite chopping boards well a well know 2 queues store which was also similar to a greek ship.

I found under my spiked mission (sand filled) stands they made a little bit of difference, but since my floor is a suspended one it still vibrates even at low volume levels.

I am looking at maybe rubber or cork tiles for under the speakers as I doubt my landlady will allow polymer foam under the floor

Where suspended floors are concerned there's usually three options: use something far more substantial than a chopping board, say a 1 cwt paving slab (it can be painted gloss black!) and couple the speaker to that with spikes but ISOLATE the slab from the floorboards using something like sorbothane or squidgy closed cell foam. The other option is to cut out a portion of the floorboards and cast a concrete block to the substrate below (extreme but in a dedicated room can work really well) and the final option is to isolate just the speaker using sorbothane under the base, that or foam speaker supports (alternatively make thse by sandwiching polystyrene with rubber (cut up innertubes work well) and closed cell foam, to an overall thickness of about 100mm. I've seen these used to really good effect.

brilliant thanks the floorboard cutting is not an option, so the paving slabs one is! out of interest where do I get the sorbothane from?

oo yes please, how thick is it and is it in sheet form?

thx

can you cut it to be a circle 260mm o.d with a small hole in the middle?

[Wakefield Turntables]

I can get you any thickness you like and yep it comes in sheet form!
