They are both a part of the same system but I think if tackled separately the results can be more articulate. I think for me it's the footers responsibility to control resonance issues, not necessarily eliminate them, caused electrically by the component itself, mechanically by airborn vibration (music) also mechanically via the cabling. I am of the opinion and practice that the rack addresses the issue of providing a stable level surface that further adds isolation (via mass and pneumatics for me) from extraneous vibrations transmitted through the floor (up and down) and even the earth motion (side to side). Like Unboxed, I will probably start with a Svelte for my turn table and see what happens. I have 1 sheet of plywood with a hard footer. Some make is dull, others make it bright. Or 2 layers with a few sheets of tar paper inbetween. I can hear my preamp respond differently to 2 layers of plywood vs 1. My tube preamps like a different type of footer than my digital equipment. I am shocked how different each platform and footer sounds in my system. No one makes a rack that wide unless I go custom.īe thoughtful the platforms and footers you use. I would probably purchase an entire rack, but my current setup is 58 inch wide. I am personally gravitating towards Symposium. My gut says they will all tell your their platform will be amazing. You could ask around the different manufacturer of shelves and ask how they might interact. It is going to have a ring at some resonant frequency the wood vibrates at. Your Timbernation is a very stout and firm foundation. As long as there is nothing egregious about the base foundation. My sense is that the platform and the footers get you 85% to 90% of the way there. I have done some research as I am looking myself.
