hi Jamie, Do you know the material for the ball at isocapfeet... İ could not find at the description
And what is the total weight upper platform of existing sandwich with turntable together more or less. because with sorbothane not only upper load capacity say here 16 kg. is important. Sorbothane has also a lower load limit. Best works between upper and lower limits.
Please go through this link

hi,
thanks for your reply,my turntable weighs 8.2 kg,the board it sits on weighs approx 1 kg so roughly in the middle of the weight specs for the sorbothane cups.

It's not costing a king's ransom so if it were me I would give it a go. It may be better, worse or do nothing - only one way to find out.

Hi Jamie,
I use four of these under a platform made from a laminated dense isolation material, it is very heavy and similar to slate in acoustic properties, but you could use a 3 inch maple wood shelf. I then stand my turntable on the shelf but the VPI Scout has its own ball bearing tipped isolation feet. It works very well Indeed.
Have a look at some of the suggestions the Vibrated company have for building a platform with the sorbathane vibrapods.
Good luck

The isofloat is very good at that price

I think they suggest to use two shelves with Vibrapods in-between.Originally Posted by jamie123

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.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”
