Gingko vs. pucks


I have a Scout and would like to add some isolation. Currently it just sits on top of my rack. I wanted to know if anyone has experience with the Gingko cloud isolation platform or something similar vs. the Aurios/BDR pucks or something along those lines. The Aurios were recommended by the Hot Stampers guy, whatever his name is. Thanks in advance.

Stehn,
I am not able to debate physics with you. I am only seeking better sound.
The Scout sits on the top shelf of a Premiere audio rack I purchased in 1999 for about $180...certainly not intended to support a $2000 turntable I purchased only 6 months ago. The construction of the rack is steel with three quarter or one inch mdf shelves that rest on the steel framing, supported at each corner. Picture a steel frame with triangular pieces of metal welded at the inside of each corner. That's what supports each shelf in the rack.
My listening room is at ground level, i.e on carpet on concrete and not prone to floor vibrations.
I am happy with the turntable/cartridge combination but if there is a way to get better sound without spending thousands, that is what I am seeking.
Stehno,
No, I did not take it as confrontational...just beyond my grasp I guess. To summarize, are you saying there's nothing that can be done with vibration/resonance/better isolation or that it's really not a big deal? I ask this sincerely as I have never delved too deeply into the minutiae of audio until recently.
