Turntable isolation

I have my TT (Rega P7) on top of my audio cabinet. The cabinet is an Ethan Allen Townhouse component cabinet with a marble top. I noticed this weekend that when I touch the doors to my audio equipment I can hear a light thump via the cartridge. Even when I lightly tap the door the sound travels through the cabinet woodwork, through the marble to the cartridge. How can I isolate the TT from the rest of the cabinet?

Buy a bicycle tube, pump it up, place it below your turntable and you can close the chapter.

Look to Gingko audio. Simple concept, but it really works wonders!

Squash balls (or maybe raquet balls) in suishi type cups (Ikea maybe). Poor mans Gingko that works.

Hello,

A butcher block on top of gel mouse pads. Total isolation on a ROCK solid platform.

Sincerely,
