Idler Drive Plinth Question

Posted by mcguirek (A) on May 21, 2012 at 09:05:43

I hope, soon, to build a new plinth for a Lenco idler drive turntable I've just purchased, and noticed that many people strive for a heavy, dense plinth to handle the power of these idler drive motors. Plinths weighing in the order of 75-100 lbs. are claimed to be superior to lesser weighted options.

I will be placing my turntable on the heavy, black walnut butcher block shelf of my equipment rack, so I was wondering if I could aim at a less heavy plinth and obtain similar results. That is, would coupling - using spikes - a 50 lb. (for example) plinth to a 25 lb. dense wood shelf be as effective in damping motor vibrations as creating a 75 lb. plinth?
