I am in need of a shelf for a new turntable purchase. It will be mounted on an exterior wall, which if I remember reading correctly, provides better isolation from footfalls than an interior wall.
Be that as it may, the Home Depot type option can be had for under 40 dollars. Those sold by Music Direct, Audio Advisor, et al., start at 200 dollars. There are many stylish options available too, though none claim to be 'audiophile approved,' etc., etc.
My question is this- since it will be mounted on an exterior wall, do I need to be concerned as much about the isolation/acoustic qualities of one intended for interior walls?
This will NOT be in or on a cabinet. I will be mounting it above my current Salamander cabinet.
All thoughts appreciated. This is a domestic living room system, and this is my only option...
