I live in a mobile home (I don't think I;m trailer trash though)with train tracks right behind me. I feel like I'm in an earthquake when a train goes by.
I would like to know what table would give me the best isolation?
Tables like Rega and Music Hall and Project all say that they should be well isolated. Being in a mobile home makes it worse.
Should I be looking at suspension tables or solid plinth designs?
I am currently using a Sansui FR3060 which has a little suspension but not enough. I upped my tracking to 2.5-3.0 grams so the needle doesn't dance.
It is the original Sansui SC-36 cartridge. (The table was a NOS I got about 2 years ago).
I would really like to know what I should look at. Don't worry about telling me buy a 50lb slab of rock or an inner tube. I have the turntable on a solid audio rack.
I used to have an old Thorens TD160mkii I think, but it was in a basement with a concrete floor. I don't have that luxury now.
I was looking at Rega and Music Hall/Project, but they don't have suspension and need good isolation.
I am also looking at older tables as well. Micro Seiki, Ariston, Denon and a couple of others.
What do you people think would be my best bet?
Thanks,
Dan
