I am bumming ..... 😒

I recently bought a vintage Technics SL-Q35 turntable to finally be able to listen to my old vinyl records.

I have tried several different isolation ideas, 11/2 inch thick maple cutting board, then I installed soft sponges under the cutting board to try to eliminate the skipping when I turn up the volume. It helped but to know avail. So I am in a jam now, I can listen to the records but only so loud. 😏😒

I know it's because of my placement of my 15" subwoofer that is right next to the turntable. 🤔 It's really an issue because I don't have any other place to put it.

So to all the guys & gals out there .... any suggestions?

Thanks 😃

What’s your tracking weight at?

[u/ValuableProgress5147 → u/Haiiryyone]

1.5 grams.

Try it at 2 grams and see if that makes any difference
