Isolation Platform for my Sota Cosmos?

Delving into the murky waters of all things Isolation Platforms to complement my Sota Cosmos turntable to try to understand which - if any - isolation platform would work best with my Sota Cosmos turntable - which is a suspended turntable. The Cosmos already has great isolation qualities so i am wondering if there is actually anything out there that could improve the sound quality from this TT. Any suggestions? Thank You

I have used a 2" slab of Starboard, which is an acrylic type of board. I can't say it was an improvement though. the Cosmos IV is pretty good the way it is.

The best Isolation stand is to mount a platform through a stud on your wall. I had Sound Anchors of Florida make me a thick metal piece that can be mounted on the wall. On the metal piece they welded a cross member like a T on it. You then place a 2 or 3 inch piece of maplewood block to match the dimensions of your turntable. Place the table on top of this. You can bring an armored tank into your room and your table will be stable.

How about just replacing the factory feet with Stillpoints Ultra SS or Ultra 5?

Feet, spikes, pucks are band-aids. Take JWM's advice and hang it on the wall. It's the best and least expensive way to isolate a TT.
