I to live in a very old house with bouncy floors.In my secondary system I have an old Sota on a walnut turntable platform that utilizes rubber balls. When someone walks into this room the stylus skips. In my main system I have a VPI Classic 3 on a 4 inch thick maple butcher block platform with 4 rubber and cork anti vibration pads. I never have any skipping and can even rap on the rack without any issues. The vibration pads are the same ones that are used in the HVAC industry. These pads are very inexpensive and you will find that the same pads are being sold under some audiophile brand names priced at 10 times their actual cost!
