So I am in the process of updating my setup. We just moved to a new place, so my listening room has changed quite a bit. The biggest change was from a concrete slab to a suspended wood floor (over a crawlspace).
I have (will have soon) a very minimalist setup. ZP3, Torii Jr, HR-1, Thorens TD-150 Hot Rod.
Well... the Thorens is especially susceptible to foot traffic, causing the needle to skip. I would like to eliminate this, I would use a wall mount shelf but there is trim molding around the room making this challenging/impossible.
As far as room improvements go, I put a huge area rug with an 8 pound carpet pad underneath it, that helped sound quality quite a bit.
I still need to add some absorption to remove the ringing in the room. This will be done with audio absorbing canvas prints. (Aesthetic is a big component in this room as its on the first floor of our home).
I was looking into Ginkgo Cloud, Mapleshapes, or Herbies Tenderfeet as a starting point. Not sure if anyone has experience with these specifically for foot traffic vibration issues, not just isolation.
Any other recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
