Gingko Cloud 9 Scoutmaster

I've bought a second hand Gingko Cloud 9 for my scoutmaster. I assumed since it's a vibration isolation platform, it would isolate the turntable from footfalls, etc. It does not. It actually makes things worse. Can't even put the needle on the record without the turntable wobbling all over the place. Am i doing something wrong, or is this thing totally useless?

Thanks for the input. I'm looking into a Steve Blinn wall shelf.

Yes Arnold...it does make VPI tables much worse. If you are interested in improving the sound if you have VPI minifeet, dump those as well and screw in Bearpaws from Vermontaudio.com. I have posted this many times on these pages...it works more than you can believe.

Gingko makes perfect plasic covers for your turntales.

I tried Gingko products with my analog and digital sources, both with poor results.

Isolating a turntable with a big floating sandbox / platform (DIY or otherwise) works very nicely.
