Help with isolation for Linn LP12 on wood floor

Hi,

Thanks again to all members with their help with my previous hum issue. Now this system "Tubes that rock" is almost there! I moved the Turntable from the right side to the left side of the wall unit and it seems to be more acceptable to vibration and skips when someone walks by. I am not getting feedback while playing but I think it would sound better with some type of isolation device or isolation shelf etc. Unfortunately I know nothing about them. Suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks to all for your invaluable help

I am having my best vinyl playback results ever using a wall mouted shelf. And my building was built in 1888 and has suspended wood floors which spring up and down even when our cat walks across the floor. However, you have to be sure you are using a stuctural wall that extend down to the foundation for best results.

I've been using mine on SoundOrganization wall mount rack for 20> yrs. to very good effect.
The lightweight base that forms the "floor" seems to be key. I've tried various substitutes, always gone back to the lightweight one

I used to have a Target wall shelf for my Linn. I found that it was better than floor mounting in order to avoid footstep vibrations. However, it depended on the wall. I found exterior walls to be better than interior, partition walls. With some walls, it was no better than having the table on the floor.

I used a wall mount on a previous system and its definately the best solution, but in this installation it must sit on the shelf in the wall unit see picture "tubes that rock" There is a pocket door behind wall unit so I can not do a wall shelf.
