How to best isolate TT from vibration?

Try hanging it from the ceiling. I have and it works great.

I had this problem when I lived in an apartment in college and got my Linn. Linn recommended a Sound Organization table - light and rigid. (Being light and rigid, the natural frequency of the table is high and it is less prone to footfall.) Since I couldn't afford one at the time, Linn recommended a parsons table (sp?). These are those old low, square plastic tables with the four square legs that just push into the table. Many people used them outdoors. I finally got hold of one of them and the footfall problems were history. More recently, I have also heard that the Ikea Lack side table is now recommended by Linn and it costs $12. Since then, I managed to buy SO table and it works great..

I agree with wall mounting and also into a solid wall, preferably outside wall. I put mine in a partition wall, of necessity and the tonearm dances around when you walk past doh!!. Its still better than on a quality hifi rack, just choose your wall better than I did

Since I suggested it, I tried the Ikea Lack side table with my AR turntable last night - similar three point suspension to a Linn. I have hardwood floors not carpeting, but I took some heavy steps in the room last night and the turntable tracked fine. The table was only $12.99 but the shipping was around $20, so if you have an Ikea near you it would be worth the drive. I have the table in dark brown and although it is cheaply made, it doesn't look too bad especially with a turntable on top.

a very good way to isolate hi fi gear is to make a shallow box out of mdf into which you place a bicycle inner tube (inflated) place another piece of 18mm mdf {cut to fit just within the box with the inner tube) on top, make sure everything is level and enjoy!
