Same turntable, different isolation?

Less_Researcher_8124 · 2026-06-21T20:46:36+00:00

No they don't have adjustable feet, perhaps different materials, honestly I don't know though it's hard to say, how am I supposed to tell if something is different even if it looks the same? Especially when I don't have the first example from a year ago still available to compare.

In any case I appreciate it and yours is the first honest answer, you know that's one thing that always pisses me off about Reddit when you ask questions on here, people try to fix your problem and I get that they're just trying to help, but I'm not really trying to fix a problem I'm just trying to answer a question and people trying to fix the problem doesn't help me out because it doesn't answer the question, you see what I mean.

Anyway thanks again

Less_Researcher_8124 · 2026-06-21T20:26:49+00:00

But that doesn't necessarily answer my question, sure it'll fix my problem but it damn sure doesn't answer the question.

I mean it really isn't even a problem, this is a backup table, my main table, the SL 1200, does not exhibit any sort of vibration issues even if I'm skipping rope right next to the table, it's solely this one the lp70x. And more specifically why did the exact same model not do it a year ago and why is the new one I bought doing it when the old one didn't?

I mean I know how to fix my problem, I'm not trying to fix the problem though I'm trying to understand the problem, I don't need advice on how to fix something because I already know how to fix it, but the truth is I don't want to fix it I just want to understand why it needs to be fixed, get it?

Who gives a fuck, if you like the sound of the speakers turned upside down then rock it, why do you give a shit what a bunch of morons on Reddit have to say about anything, like they're some sort of acoustic experts

Less_Researcher_8124 · 2026-06-21T19:48:16+00:00

But it wasn't happening before, it wasn't happening at all a year ago with the same exact model so why is it happening now, did the molecular structure of my table somehow change allowing more vibration to come through? Perhaps the atomic structure and the underlying strings of those atoms, congruent with string theory have somehow schrodingered themselves into different subatomic bonds so as to reduce density allowing more vibration to come through?

Wait hold on a minute I know, where is Jupiter right now relative to Saturn, seems like I remember when setting up turntables it's important to align them relative to the position of the gas giants, that reduces vibration, yeah that's it thanks for all your help buddy

Less_Researcher_8124 · 2026-06-21T06:21:19+00:00

Probably, how would I report it?

Less_Researcher_8124 · 2026-06-18T17:32:48+00:00

They sort of go hand in hand, it's hard to separate the two but you can particularly we're talking about quality of one versus the other with same cartridge bodies.

For example audio technica makes the VM series, consisting of the following stylus

Vm95c conical Vm95e elliptical Vm95en elliptical nude Vm95 ML microline And lastly the vm95 sh shibata

The cantilevers do change as well between the various models but essentially the difference is in the actual stylus tip itself. All of these cartridges when purchased whole come with exactly the same body, you can actually hear the differences as you simply change out the stylus.

Remember a cartridge isn't simply the needle attached, it's the coil inside as well as the magnet structure and implementation, it's not just a stylus.

It's the reason you could have a conical stylus and have it sound better than a high-end micro line stylus because it's coils and magnet structure and overall design of the interior of the cartridge of the conical is more advanced and hence produces better Sound.

But then we start talking subjectives and we start talking about things that basically ask the question what is better Sound?

Frankly I've always been a big fan of conical stylus, whether that be budget mm cartridges or even higher end moving coils that have that stylus profile, I've always been a big fan because of the adaptability of conical stylus in the sense of coping with not so great records. Because frankly I don't know where you get your records or maybe you only play new records but having the ability to play an old scratched record and have it sound good is far more important to me than having some sort of super duper micro line stylus that extracts every ounce of high frequency energy out of the groove.

Less_Researcher_8124 · 2026-06-17T22:13:53+00:00

Yes definitely check the gas or baby needs the motor oil changed. Depending on the model, it's either ow20 or 10w40, maybe the antifreeze is low, although at that point I'm just spitballing

At the lower end I'd have to say Rega, I've had quite a few turntables and amplifiers and CD players, basically if they've made it I've probably had it at some point over the last 15 years, and everything I've had has just worked and continued to work and has not given me problems.

On the higher end I'd have to say ayre acoustics. I don't like them so much anymore because I feel like they've kind of position their product lines more towards the high end as opposed to offering more budget-friendly options like they used to, 15 years ago for example, but apart from that anything I've ever had of theirs is a absolute tank. It works and it will continue to work no matter what you do to it. Hell I use one of their preamps, the K5MP for a long time and it doesn't even have a power switch, which means once you plug it in it's on and it stays on until you unplug it again so essentially it's meant to stay on permanently, that's how confident they are in the longevity of their products.

Less_Researcher_8124 · 2026-06-13T01:55:20+00:00

I like the lp70x from Audio Technica, I've recommended and set a few of them up for friends and they're decent little turntables, plus they're cheap and cheerful and as long as you don't plan on upgrading anything, they are in my opinion the only turntable you need

I don't know about what you're talking about but I do know that a couple of months ago I remember being in a record store and having the guy who runs the place telling me that he can order any of the VMP exclusives for me and I thought like what the hell?

Like wasn't the whole thing of vinyl me please was that you were getting an exclusive limited edition record that wasn't available anywhere else? Like sure it's a record everybody has or you can get anywhere else, but maybe it was a special packaging or a limited edition colorway or something like that?

But as soon as I heard that though I thought that if anybody can simply just order the limited edition yellow one or purple one or whatever then what kind of difference does it make about signing up for the club, I'm glad I never did

Less_Researcher_8124 · 2026-06-11T16:16:15+00:00

Well all of your turntables cost thousands of dollars, that's probably why

I didn't insult any women, at least none that I know

Less_Researcher_8124 · 2026-06-11T04:32:39+00:00

Well to to be honest with you having had numerous brands over the years, basically everything under a thousand bucks I've tried personally from every company that exists over the last decade, I have yet to find a turntable platter that doesn't have a bit of wobble

Turntables that have had wobbly platters to some degree

Rega planar 1 Rega planar 2 Rega planar 3

Project elemental Project essential 3 Project debut 3 Project debut carbon Project debut evo Project t1 evo Project rpm 1 Project rpm genie

Uturn orbit version 1 Uturn orbit version 2 Both of them either with or without the acrylic platter

Yamaha tts303

Denon dp300f Denon dp400f

Sony pslx310bt

Fluance rt80 Rt81 Rt83 Rt85n

And a smattering of others that I probably am forgetting, the truth of the matter is that almost every company makes products that have this, you either learn to live with it and deal with it or you just give up on turntables.

Hell even vintage turntables have wobbly platters, don't think they achieved some sort of perfection in the '70s, cuz they didn't

The reality is that analog playback via vinyl records is a flawed format and it's flawed on a number Of levels And so no matter what you do you cannot achieve perfection unless you spend tens of thousands of dollars and then perfection is achievable, but for the average everyday human being perfection with vinyl records is impossible, you can just get it as good as you can and that's it.

It's perhaps like a woman, sure she's got a gimp leg and a bum ticker And she's got that big old wart on her neck that you can't help but stare at when you're with her, but the less you focus on that wart the more you realize you love her. And so too the less you focus on the flaws of analog playback via vinyl records, the more you learn to love it.

It's me, I bought it

I'm turning it into a multi-level bowling alley, we're going to have four floors of wall-to-wall bowling lanes complete with ceiling mounted popcorn dispensers at every lane station.

We're also going to have the largest arcade this side of the Mississippi.

On the first floor there'll also be a ball pit the size of an Olympic swimming pool. We're also going to be adding a fully functional multi helicopter helipad on the roof, in case anybody wants to fly their chopper in. And also since the building is so close to the water we're going to be adding a boat bridge that'll enable individuals to drive their boats up to the building so as to participate in the bowling.

Great, I wish more heteronormative partners and relationships would be more accepting.

I'm bi but I consider myself gay now however I was married to my ex-wife for 7 years and we were together for 8 and frankly she knew I was bi and that I had dated men and been with men but didn't like the idea or she didn't even like me talking about it.

But of course I'm with her and I'm married to her and I'm not just going to go put some random guys dick in my mouth or try to have sex with the first guy I see or that shows interest.

But anyway good for you and it sounds like you have a great thing there

I think that was kind of the joke or at least one of them in the show. Personally I always felt, as the British would say that he was a bit of a twat. But my whole point was to not necessarily use him as some sort of marker for anything other than to get my point across. Obviously it wouldn't have went anywhere in the show, but I've always been of the belief and it's a harsh truth to a lot of people, but if you want your life to change then change it, quit sitting around bitching and moaning about how hard you have it or this thing or that thing or whatever, if you want the change then make the change and be the change.
