silentgods Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Just out of curiousity does isolating the turntable on say a pedestal or pane of glass help the sound? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajxd Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Lot of factors here; how thick of glass? Whats the pedestal made of? Thick sheet of glass would work (you'll see some tables come with a glass platter). A hollow pedestal filled with glass beads or sand would also be good.

LIGMA_BALLZ Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Has anyone tried these expedit inserts before? They're only $5 each Trying to find a solution so my lps arent in the sunlight. The wife likes to keep the blinds open in our shitty small apt and theres very limited wall space so the only place to for the expedit is near a windown that shines on them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajxd Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 No they aren't. They are very flimsy, and I don't know if an LP would actually fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjb2k1 Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 what about when you have your speakers right near your table as well? i'd assume that'd be something of the same issue. Yes this will cause vibrations, but the vibrations are easier to isolate. Say the speaker is resting on carpet, has spikes, on a stand filled with glass/sand, etc. The turntable would also be on another piece of furniture, so more dampening. If you had the table on a hardwood floor next to a speaker? Yeh, TONS of distortion. There are many ways to help isolation (cork + rubber blocks, suspension furniture, etc). But simple things like not placing the turntable on any other piece of equipment is usually step 1. cool thanks. right now i have my table on top of my receiver, between my speakers. i haven't noticed anything like that but i'm also not an audiophile of any kind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajxd Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Also take in to account what type of music you listen to... If you listen to hardcore, metal, etc you're not going to notice it as much. Listen to something clean like an acoustic guitar with one vocal track, its a whole new ballgame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcm1610 Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Until I figure something out and change my furniture in my room, these speakers will have to do. does it bug anyone else to shit that gaslight's '59 sound spine text is upside down from practically every other record ever? Oh my god yes. Why did they print it that way?!And is someone worried about sunlight? That can't possibly do real damage to a record, can it?

I just flipped it over. I don't think I like it like that. I don't know why. I think it's better "wrong" in this case for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gutterpunk79 Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 I've finally finished my basement. I was gonna do my home office downstairs, plus have a room just for my records (and do some cool bins like in a record store)...but when we found out that my wife was expecting our 2nd child, we decided to double the play room space for my daughter and soon to be born son. (family first!). So I combined my office and records! I'm not done yet, I still need to reorganize a few things and hang my framed posters and records on the other walls (not pictured). But so far I do enjoy having my records in my office, I found myself working from home more often! taylo234 and chkadea 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyacrash Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 ^^^ yea that looks great! So I'm moving in July, and starting to look for places. Is it bad that a major factor is determining a good record room? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dstrange Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 ^^^^ Awesome setup! What did you use to have the records rest on the wall? Some ikea shelf or wood strapping or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
