How heavy is your Turntable ?

[Dre_J]

Thanks Sean

The Kuzma Stabi XL is no lightweight at 170# and neither is the Triangle Arts at 270# but I think the Redpoint is among the heaviest coming in at 650+ lbs. Not exactly sure with all the extras.

Thanks Myles,

I'll email Wes and see if he can give me footprint information.

How much does your turntable weigh?

What would the footprint be in length and width for a platform/stand?

You are also welcome to identify the name of your table if you would like to.

Thanks,
Dre

Dre, Why are you compiling this information? Inquiring minds want to know?

Heavy enough to require a new bathroom scale (do you count the weight of the vapor compression motor cooler?)

^^^ looks like a meth lab that plays records....breaking bad style.

The Baasner turntable is a festival of stainless and acrylic and features a parallel tracking arm that floats in water, a syringe is supplied in order to adjust VTA, naturally. Other features include shields to deflect air movement and nylon thread drive via pulleys too numerous to count.

Perhaps the designer got his inspiration in the famous stories about the Forsell air bearing parallel tracking tonearm tubes pouring water ...

Does it actually work? It almost looks like a joke.

I'm not sure long term reliability will be the forte' of that table. Talk about unnecessary, IMHO complication. It might be fun to do some meth and tweak that baby. It might keep you occupied for a while tweaking...lol

Guys,

While these super tables are nice to look at and have impressive size/weight, I'm really interested in your personal tables and their footprints/weights.

So Gary, hvbias, Myles, and mep please share and add your personal tables to the list.

BTW: If weight is not known or you have an approximate values, that's fine. I know it much easier to get a tape measurer for the footprint info than it is to put a table (especially a custom plinth one) on a scale if weight is unknown.

Thanks guys,
Dre

My Kodo the Beat is 110 lbs plus arms and armboard, JC Verdier La Platine is 143 lbs plus armboard and arms.
The heaviest table that I know of is the JC Verdier La Platine Magnum at 881 lbs plus arm and armboard.

I'm not sure what the VPI Classic Direct comes in at with the SRA base. Not on the site so I'll have to investigate.
