Best location setup of turntable

Many good advice.
Thanks.
I thought a pillow cover filled with sand would be as good an isolation device than any other, but I guess I was not right?
Aagin, my living room is wood floor. Among isolation platform (by nimbus or similar), wall mount rack (by Target or similar), and isolation pads, which would be best, per performance/price wise?

An inexpensive pneumatic isolation system can be made by using a bicylce tire tube (depending on size of your tt an 18x1.5 or 20x1.5) and plywood board (1" or 3/4" and big enough to fit under your tt). Place the tube on your current stand-shelf, the pywood on top of it and the tt on the plywood. Inflate the tube just enough to raise the tt - don't over-inflate. A short straw or tube placed between tube and shelf will prevent a resonant air pocket forming in center area of tube.

the tt should be on a heavy solid rack and then isolated from the top shelf. if you have a wood floor you place the rack 4-6 inches from the wall and using a wood braket attach the top or second shelf to the wall. both the wall and floor vibrate at opisite times so they will cancil each other out. there are many isolation shelves out there use the heaviest you can afford. the weight helps to cut dowm sound wave vibration and isolaters stop the vibration from the other equipment on the rack. i do not understand the wall shelf. the walls receive the largest amount of air wave vibration, plus even the best wall shelf is FLIMSY at best. carter9000 move that table behind the speaker using the rack system described, you want it as close as you can get to phono and line amps. VIBRATION is what it is all about, everthing in music is created and destroyed by vibration, the entire high end is based on controling vibration.

Another room, on an inexpensive computer printer table! If any part of the sound can get to the cartridge, you will have colored the sound. Same goes for tube amplifiers, if the sound can get to the tubes. So, try out the relocation to see if the sound is 'cleaner'.

How do you guys feel about the mounting of a 'table on different surfaces depending on if it is suspended or not?
