By Juan C. Ayllon Since selling my living edge turntable isolation platform this last year, I've had a gnawing desire to find a replacement that would go better with our modern minimalist family/ A/V room.
Now our rule is that when I'm not using it, the turntable has to be tucked away in our BDI Corridor media console (so as not to ruin its aesthetic lines with the extra clutter), but even so, simply placing my VPI Prime Scout turntable directly atop AV RoomService Equipment Vibration Protector pads -- which works well to isolate it -- always felt a bit chintzy. I have always felt that a better solution would be to place the deck on a heavy platform that, in turn, would be supported by the EVPs. The big catch was that I really didn't want to spend much money on them. By Juan C. Ayllon In the twilight years of my teaching career, and with no travel plans (Belle is working, not on vacation), following our family Christmas celebration with Belle, Mom, and the kids and grandkids who didn't travel, I find myself once again finding creative ways to spend my winter break. And even though I'm 61 years old, I sometimes feel like a big kid with time on his hands.
Sure, there's chores and tasks that need tending. For example, I plan on replacing the broken straps on my Barcelona Chair replica, organizing our storage space, updating my resume and pondering future career plans. I also have interview pieces, reviews and other writing projects to do. |
