Townshend Isolation Products.

Update on the Townshend platform: initially the wrong cells were installed on the platform per the weight of the turntable. I was then sent a set of the corner platforms for my rack. This was the solution to a number of problems. My footfall issues are gone and the overall sound has improved with a quieter background and a wider soundstage. my entire system has seemed to benefit from the corners. I have moved the platform over to my DAC. I am so astounded by the benefits of the platform and corners, I have ordered the podiums to go under my speakers. I'm totally bought in to the benefits of the Townshend isolation products. A huge shoutout to John Davis Hannant for his tireless customer service and his dedication in getting me the solution I needed.

I use their speaker platforms.  Physics says to isolate your equipment use springs with the proper k factor and length to damp all vibrations.  Townshend is IMHO the best supplier to do those calculations to match your mass.

+1 for corner platforms. I have had the same issue as you. Crawl space under the floor so foot falls were a big issue. I ordered a set (4) of "D" rated corner platforms to support my rack and haven’t had a problem since. Here's AG thread I posted a couple of years ago...

I use Townshend platforms under my equipment. I notice a tightening of the bass to be the most noticeable.

Their turntable platforms are awesome. In addition, customer service is outstanding..received the platform exactly one week after ordering...from the UK. Amazing.

The Townsend platforms were not beneficial in my system.

Underneath my power amps I preferred my Magic Carpet base.

With my speakers I preferred a more direct coupling to the floor.
