Pro-Ject Ground-IT E Hi-Fi Support Platform

I ordered this support as although my turntable is mounted on a Target HiFi stand, that sits on a wooden floor. When putting a record on the deck and walking away, footsteps clearly could be heard through the speakers. I didn’t want to mount a shelf to the wall and having read a range of discussions on various forums, Hi Fi News etc., decided to give this a go. I was somewhat skeptical it would make a massive difference and wondered if the cost would be justified. The support arrived yesterday and was heavier than I had expected and really well finished matching my Pro-Ject turntable. Having installed it (which takes nothing other than putting it on the support shelf and putting the turntable on top) the effect was immediate: it seems to completely isolate the turntable from the floor. What I hadn’t expected was that it changed the quality of the sound coming out of the entire system: suddenly the low end of the music became tidied up and individual bass notes were far easier to make out. That also added clarity to the higher frequencies as it removed the muddiness at the bottom end. Having worried that over a hundred pounds for a slab to put under the turntable might be a waste of money, it turns out to have been one of the best value Hi Fi purchases I’ve made in years. Highly recommended.

Way back in the early 70s my Father had a Bang & Olufsen amplifier with a turntable, or as he always called it, "a gramaphone" precariously balanced and wobbling on the top. When he proudly demonstrated his HiFi to our next door neighbour he commented that the turntable needs to sit on a sort of thing to make sure it was stable and promptly made a platform fashioned out of wood to do just such a thing.Fast forward to the here and now and I also own a turntable which sits on top of my HiFi separates. Cosmetically it just looks wrong and so I started to search the internet for my own sort of thing. Many of my searches returned floating shelves which involved screwing something to the wall which I didn't want to do, and then finally I came across the Pro-Ject Audio Systems PGITE Ground-IT E Hi-Fi Support Platform.Cosmetically it's stunning with its gloss finish and it's a nice heavy weight. There's no installation. Simply place the platform and rest the turntable on top and that's it. No fuss, No screwing. No instructions necessary.I've given it a test drive and the first thing I've noticed is that there's no annoying rumble that I used to hear when playing a record. The sound does sound beefier for want of a better word. It does exactly what it says on the tin and it was well worth the £110 investment.

Bought this following an online audiophile review and customer reviews on Amazon. This is a superbly constructed support with its piano gloss finish and height adjustment feet and well worth the money. Can’t realistically comment on contribution to sound as my Rega 6/phono amp are still ‘burning in’, but it supports the turntable as described.

Ok, it’s not the most exciting bit of audio kit but it does provide an excellent isolation platform for your turntable to sit on. It will help you get the best out of your turntable.The adjustable feet will be a big bonus for many. The level on the unit my turntable sits on wasn’t too bad but the Pro-Ject platform has enabled me to get it spot on.

JUST GOT THIS TO LEVEL UP MY REGA. NEW SIDEBOARD IS A BIT RUSTIC AND UNEVEN. HAVING BEEN INTO HIFI SINCE THE EIGHTIES, IM VERY SCEPTICAL ABOUT GEAR. PLEASANTLY SURPRISED BY THIS, AS IT DOES INDEED SOUND BETTER. BASS SEEMS TO BE BETTER ALL ROUND.

OK so I recently upgraded my turntable to a Rega P8 and as I didn't want the use there separate wall mount I knew I'd need the get some sort of isolation platform for my hi-fi rack.This does the job perfectly and it's got a lovely piano gloss finish that matches rest of my system and speakers.You can easily adjust feet on underside with aid of a spirit level to do so HAD mine correctly adjusted within minutes of opening THIS is VERY important as any audiophile will tell you.My only critisim is it would of been nice if it had come with some sort of self adhesive pads for the feet to stand on as it does slide around easily on the glass surface of my hi-fi rack....will have to buy some separately now to solve this.

looks good cuts out any noise and rumble very good value

Needed an isolation layer for my turntable. Wanted one in Black as the turntable sits on a wooden hifi unit. Checked out the reviews this one fitted the bill. It even comes with tiny little metal pads so the isolation spikes don’t scratch your furniture.
