Know before you buy
The base uses a heavy-weight construction filled with granular damping material to absorb mechanical vibrations from your furniture or floor. By decoupling your turntable from these external resonances, the stylus can track grooves more accurately, resulting in clearer audio and better detail retrieval.
Yes, the base is compatible with any turntable or hi-fi component that fits within its 19.68" x 15.75" surface area. Its high weight capacity makes it particularly well-suited for larger, high-end turntables that require a stable, vibration-free platform.
The three feet use magnetic fields to suspend the base, effectively breaking the physical path for vibrations to travel from your rack to your equipment. Because they are height-adjustable, they also allow you to perfectly level your turntable, which is essential for proper tonearm and cartridge performance.
Yes, the unit weighs nearly 30 pounds. This mass is intentional, as it provides a solid, inert foundation that resists movement and further dampens any residual vibrations that might affect your playback.
The finish is durable, but like any high-gloss piano lacquer, it is prone to showing fingerprints and dust. We recommend cleaning it periodically with a soft, dry microfiber cloth to maintain its aesthetic appeal.
