Adjustable Isolation Feet for Turntables

[cabbages]

My AR ES-1 has a wooden cabinet/plinth, the corners of which are supported/braced on the underside by a short length of wood at each corner. Also at each corner, a simple rubber foot is mounted under the table via a wood screw up into this wooden brace.

I'm now going to be placing the turntable on a surface that isn't itself adjustable (unlike the turntable shelf on my old rack), so levelling the table will be a bit difficult (because the feet aren't adjustable). I've seen lots of after-market adjustable isolation feet, but they seem to be based on an M6 or M8 bolt, so presumably they'll be anchored into a piece of kit that has the correct nut secured into the component's base.

Does anyone know of an adjustable isolation foot that can be anchored by a wood screw?

Hi,

Could you not use some metal washers under the feet until you have it level, and then transfer the washers to go between the plinth and foot.

Otherwise I think you will have to look at some captive nut like a T nut sunken into the bottom of the plinth to take the new feet or a plate of metal secured in each corner of the brace with wood screws and then a tapped hole in the middle to take the new foot.

B&Q do thes in M6 or M8

As implied earlier, there are convenient cheaper alternatives, even for things on 4 feet-legs-mounts etc.

Generally, as long as all safely installed/maintained, anything will do job (I admit though that I have always been happy to have my t/t's on 4 LEVELLING corner-things - I currently for 9 years favour black cheap-cider plastic bottle-caps trimmed suitably on SO Z560 stand spiked into stone).

I won't mention Bristol etc demo of Dual 505 at angle of 33 degrees in early 1980s tracking/playing nice sound adequately.
