Turntable feet
I have just picked up a new solid wood plinth for my Thorens Td160 and it doesn't have any feet. Does anyone have any recommendations? Would I be best going with rubber feet or trying spikes? The TT is already on a wall shelf so there are no issues with vibrations from footfall affecting it.
Thanks

Best i used were the magnetically levitating ones. Expensive though.

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

They sound a bit out of my price range, Grant. looking at around £40 max.

You already have suspension within the deck, so there's nothing to be gained from using anything soft or springy between the deck and shelf; indeed introducing a second mass-spring system will only result in problems, not improvements. Provided that the deck's suspension is properly set up, then hard rubber or plastic feet will do nicely.

Thanks Hugo, so just the standard black rubber feet that are made for cabinets etc would do the job as well as anything specifically audio?

Yes, assuming that your deck's suspension is set up properly, and that everything is level, those would do fine. If your deck had been a solid, unsuspended type, things would be very different and there would definitely have been a case for introducing some proper isolation between it and the wall shelf; and that is a topic for a different thread.
