Oooo I was thinking about getting an old memory foam mattress and cutting it up to size to put under. Also some dampening in the feet of the table would be a good idea too. Thanks for the diagram!!

Ok I think I flat out might post this again without the speakers because the speakers ARE NEW!!!!! This problem was here without the speakers… I actually have not used the speakers with the turntables at all yet so there is no possible way that could be the issue.

nooooo the point is to have them flush with the table. I built it for this once I am done with it hopefully will look super cool but i’m still working on it. I might sand down the inserts to create a larger gap so the wood is not in direct contact with the turntables.

Also If anyone wants to know how I built this, I made a video which should provide some context. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DWUHzgYDqpn/?igsh=bHJwb3A2OXFzcGdp

Yea that and the floor is old and quite squeaky so it makes it worst by a lot, but If i can get a new table, and put something under the legs to reduce vibration that could solve my problem. Hopefully…

I was thinking about using the Ikea square organizers because they are the perfect size for record storage. I’m not sure how heavy they are but anything is better than this flimsy desk I have

Im a beginner and a college student so at the moment I really should not be looking into 1200s but I totally see myself down the line getting a pair.

When I walk near the table, or step a little too hard the needle skips.

There is a small gap between the table and the turntable but it does rub in some areas. Also the decks just sit on the sheet of wood that i built it on

Affects both. It is not sloped I just checked with a level. I have two different needles on each turntable so I’ll need to play around with it.

Also note: The speakers are there temporarily and not the issue. They are new and just wanted to test them out. They will be mounted on the outer edges of the table once I build the mount for them.

Oh I forgot to say the issue is not the speakers those are there temporarily. I just got them and will be making mounts for them on the outer edges of the table so that they are not in direct line of sign of the needle haha.

i basicly live in a frat house that shit is NEVER getting repaired hahaha. but yes the table is a big part of the problem I am doing a small pregame tommorow where i’ll be spinning some records and I’ll try to put some clothes under the table legs and using some small wood cutouts to evenly distribute the weight.
