MDFWhat is plinth made of?
About an inch. Its ok when the stylus is in the air. But very sensitive to the touch when the record is playing. I tap it in this video to see if you can get an idea.How thick?
I have a Technics SL10, it's almost silent when you touch it.The noise is transferring From the plinth through to to the arm and cartridge.
Probably nothing you can do about it other then don’t touch the plinth.
Higher end turntables use isolation to avoid unwanted noise but to be honest, pretty any noise will be transmitted through to the tonearm, no matter what turntable it is if you touch the plinth, they’re super sensitive things turntables.
to be fair, i don't really like those, i was looking at the new SL1500c and she went out and bought me this.Ask for the receipt & swap for something non chinese like a Project or Rega
the floor is concrete, and the turntable is not on the same box as the speakers, will it really make much difference?Can you get the TT on a wall shelf at all? This may help quite a bit.
indeed, but now my OCD can hear a hollow bass in the music!As HifiDan stated, it’s a fairy typical issue with lightweight decks that have no or minimal isolation between the chassis, and the platter, bearing arm and stylus assembly. Feedback through the air tends to have an almost howl where the the deck picks up vibrations from the speakers which are amplified and the speakers excite the deck creating a feedback loop.
In your case, just don’t tap the plinth!
Yeah, it will. Not too bad at low volume but the louder it is the more the box will catch the sound and feed vibrations into the turntable. What the deck sits on makes a big difference to any turntable.the floor is concrete, and the turntable is not on the same box as the speakers, will it really make much difference?
ok, i used to have a wall mounted turntable but only because i had floorboards.Yeah, it will. Not too bad at low volume but the louder it is the more the box will catch the sound and feed vibrations into the turntable. What the deck sits on makes a big difference to any turntable.
It depends on how far you want to go? There are always better turntables, better ways to set them up, where does it end? Fecked if I know! Do you want to play this game? Drop into this rabbit hole? Or just play records?ok, i used to have a wall mounted turntable but only because i had floorboards.
To be fair I have an SL10 and it shits all over it, so I am already there to a degree. I wanted a better second system and she jumped in with a surpise, when I am sure the new SL1500C would have been bang on. So now my job is to get it sounding ok for the next couple of years and then trade it in. It's not horrible sounding, but lacks a bit of everything and of course adds boom when you touch it, making me wonder how much boom it is adding even when I don't touch it.It depends on how far you want to go?
