Isolation Platform for my Sota Cosmos?

Delving into the murky waters of all things Isolation Platforms to complement my Sota Cosmos turntable to try to understand which - if any - isolation platform would work best with my Sota Cosmos turntable - which is a suspended turntable. The Cosmos already has great isolation qualities so i am wondering if there is actually anything out there that could improve the sound quality from this TT. Any suggestions? Thank You

Before i upgraded to TW AC3 i had Sota Cosmos I used Symposium ultra Stealth top with great sound.It will give you great bass,deep stage,wide image etc the best for turntables.I am still using Symposium Ultra Stealth top.

How about just replacing the factory feet with Stillpoints Ultra SS or Ultra 5?

Feet, spikes, pucks are band-aids. Take JWM's advice and hang it on the wall. It's the best and least expensive way to isolate a TT.

SYMPOSIUM is an isolation platform not feet or a wall shelf however it can be used on a wall shelf.

I had a serious vibration and acoustical problem, because my TT platform rested on a suspended floor (i.e.-not concrete, but joists) I tried mounting a platform on the wall, but still had problems. I finally suspended my table platform out from the wall using heavy duty springs in 4 places. The platform doesn't touch the wall or floor and the cables that do touch the floor and wall are isolated by springs. The platform is bubble level, yet it is suspended. I have a friend who hung his platform from the ceiling accomplishing the same end.
People who have slab floors are fortunate indeed. Ya have to work with what ya have.
