Good afternoon. I have a sound organisation rack. My rega p6 sits on an Aticarma platform with polypods underneath it. Would I benefit from changing the pods to something different. Thanks.
Thanks. Good advice.Agreed. Wall shelf best in most situations. If it needs to stay on the rack, the differences/improvements from replacing the pods are going to be subtle at best. Subtle might be worth having of course but you'll need to hear it/them for yourself as everyone's system is different.
Just a thought. I have a bamboo board. Would this be beneficial to the sound if I put it on top of the atikarma stand or would it over dampen.Thanks for all the advice.

Small change to that...Rega = wall mounted.
Rather silly if you don't.
Will built in shelving isolate as well as wallmounting?Small change to that...
Any turntable = wall mounted.
Depends on the construction. The idea is that the shelf works as a vibration sink, as much as isolation. It 'drains' airborne vibration as well as isolating from floor borne interference. The ideal is a solid shelf, fixed to a solid wall. Basically, the 'solider' the better. Built-in shelving may be good, but if the shelves are relatively large, they may well have some movement in terms of picking up vibration.Will built in shelving isolate as well as wallmounting?
Cant argue with thatJust buy the Rega wall bracket for your P6. It deserves it.
Around 1978 I literally wedged a large thick paving stone into an alcove between our large solid brick built fireplace containing the chimneys from 2 flats below & the brick outer wall, I had using 3" Raw Screws fitted 3/4" square aluminium to the walls for it to sit on then drove in wooden wedges, I then covered it with black Formica using a thixotropic adhesive, then a sheet of 8 mm glass sitting on top.Depends on the construction.

As always, the room, floor and walls will matter. A robust heavy rack on a solid (concrete, e.g.) floor is likely to be better than a shelf fixed to a non-structural wall, as the latter is likely to vibrate more than the floor.
Assuming you've got the shelving, then the simple answer is to try.
Don't you mean MY target rackbuy a block of newplast plasticine,
newplast has nearly the same damping properties as panzerholz.
here's mine on my target rack,i got blue for a nice contrast.
