Suggestions on what to sit a TT on

[MWR]

Any suggestions welcome regarding what is good for a DD turntable to sit on. I'm assuming something that does not carry vibrations easily, suggestions on budget applications would be good, you know, nothing gold or silver plated

Thanks

A popular solution is the Lack table from Ikea for a whole $10.

That thing is so versatile. You can also use it for your headphone amp and cans.

That lack table is exactly what I have been looking for. Do you any of you guys know of any good storage units for records? racks/shelves etc?

Some great ideas, thanks for the help.

Lack's are great but usually used with suspended turntables. Direct drives tend not to have suspension systems and are usually better catered for by a rigid wall shelf with some mass loading.

So something quite solid then, well I could put my amp on the lack and TT on the cabinet. Good advice Ozcall. BTW I'm finding a lack of bass thinking of changing the head shell (as it may be a little bit worst for wear) and a cartridge, could these steps possibly give me more bass?

New headshell ...sorted

Bought Lack now has amp on it thanks

You might like to try placing a concert paver on the cabinet, under the DD table.

I sit mine on a piece of acrylic which I bought from eBay for about $20, then just placed some clear pads on the underside.
