In the Thread: Mastodont DIY Rack: Wall Mount?

Post Subject: Rack attackPosted by N-set on: 7/2/2013

Paul, I thought about the wall mount, but eventually decided to go with a
more universal, pref. end of life solution, I could place anywhere. I've never had a
dedidcated rack, a time to have one.
The result is a slate-on-steel-frame 500kg mastodont, I'm about to finish
(will post the resluts soon in a separate thread, here is a work in progress diary:
http://www.lencoheaven.net/forum/index.php?topic=11724.0 ). The idea is to have a massive
structure supporting large (1,4mx0.7m) Vibraplane-style pneumatic decoupled plane for TT's/CD's/RIAA etc.
The mass is there not so much to lower the res. freq. of the floor (with TT it's never low enough),
but rather to make the vibration amplitude smaller. This is what they do in optical tables.
Yes, i'm quite concerned with the structural load, let's hope it'll be ok.
The geometry of my floor I do not know, I did not make it. Actually, this is
a decorative suspended wooden floor on top of a armed concrete/brick (if I'm right)
building structure. It's not only wood.

Cheers,
N-set
