Uberwaltz if you can jump up and down in front of the turntable and put the edge of a stethoscope against the platform with music at a moderate volume and not hear an increase in the volume through the stethoscope you are good to go. No other mods needed. Next put the stethoscope against the base plate of the Garrard. You should hear no increase in volume. If you do you have a plinth issue. Turn the turntable off and play another source. Listen to the platter mat on and off.
A sturdy stand on a concrete floor is always the best. Trying to predict which plinth and turntables are going to have trouble is difficult and frequently surprising. Some turntables depend entirely on their stand for isolation others you could could put on a folding table and they will do fine.
