Elevate your vinyl listening experience with the IsoAcoustics Delos Turntable Isolation Butcher Block. Designed to preserve the delicate process of turntable playback, this butcher block minimizes vibrations and structural resonances, ensuring exceptional clarity and detail from your records.

Isolation Platforms for Greater clarity and detail

Discover the benefits of a turntable isolation platform with the DELOS butcher block from IsoAcoustics, designed to isolate turntables from vibrations and reveal the finest details in your records. The stylus navigating the tiny variations in the vinyl’s grooves is a delicate process that is very sensitive. By decoupling the turntable from the supporting surface and dramatically diminishing structural vibrations and resonances, DELOS enhances clarity and detail, creating a listening experience unlike any other. Combining the mass of a thick butcher block with IsoAcoustics patented isolation, DELOS provides a low noise floor by eliminating the effects of structure borne vibrations.

The Floating Island of Delos (Greek Mythology)

The Island of Delos is one of the most important mythological and historical sites in Greece. In Greek mythology the windy island of Delos was once uninhabitable as it floated aimlessly in the rough Aegean Sea until the Greek god Poseidon anchored the floating island in its place on four granite columns to provide a safe place for Leto to give birth to the twin gods Apollo and Artemis.

Step-by-Step Installation Guide for ISOAcoustics Delos Turntable Isolation Platform (Butcher Block)

What You Need:

• ISOAcoustics Delos Turntable Isolation Platform (Butcher Block)
• Your turntable
• A flat, stable surface (such as a shelf or stand)
• Optional: Leveling tools (like a bubble level)

1. Unbox the Delos Isolation Platform:

• Carefully remove the ISOAcoustics Delos isolation platform from its packaging. Verify that all components are present, including the butcher block platform and any included hardware or feet.

2. Choose the Placement Location:

• Select a stable, level surface where you plan to place the isolation platform. The surface should be solid and free of vibrations to ensure the best performance of your turntable.

3. Prepare the Surface:

• Ensure that the surface where the Delos platform will be placed is clean and free of any dust or debris. This helps in providing a stable base for the platform.

4. Assemble the Isolation Platform:

• The Delos platform typically comes pre-assembled. If assembly is required, follow these steps:
• Attach the isolation feet to the underside of the butcher block platform if they are not already installed. These feet often have adjustable height to level the platform.
• Adjust the height of the feet to ensure the platform sits level. Use a bubble level to check the evenness if necessary.

5. Place the Isolation Platform:

• Position the assembled ISOAcoustics Delos isolation platform on your chosen surface. Make sure the platform is placed securely and is level. Adjust the feet if needed to ensure stability.

6. Place the Turntable on the Platform:

• Carefully lift your turntable and place it on top of the Delos isolation platform. Ensure that the turntable is centered and balanced on the platform.

7. Level the Turntable:

• If your turntable has leveling feet, adjust them to ensure the turntable is perfectly level. This is important for optimal performance and to avoid any playback issues.

8. Check for Stability:

• Gently press down on the turntable to ensure it is stable and not wobbling. The isolation platform should absorb any vibrations and prevent them from affecting the turntable.

9. Test the Setup:

• Play some records to test the setup. Listen for improvements in sound clarity and reduce any vibrations or resonances. Make any necessary adjustments to the turntable or platform placement.

Additional Tips:

• Isolation Feet Adjustment: The Delos platform’s isolation feet are designed to absorb vibrations. Make sure they are properly adjusted to maximize their effectiveness.
• Avoiding Vibration Sources: Place the turntable away from sources of vibration, such as speakers or heavy equipment, to ensure the best isolation performance.

By following these steps, you'll successfully install your ISOAcoustics Delos Turntable Isolation Platform with a butcher block, helping to isolate your turntable from vibrations and improve overall sound quality.
