Isolation for turntables


I'm looking for some ideas on how to keep my turntable on the straight and narrow. My Oracle Delphi IV/SME345/Grado Reference is not in the ideal environment. I had a custom oak stand built for my gear and certainly blends well with the decor. Trouble is, my listening room has an oak strip hardwood floor, slightest footsteps makes the cartridge jump. Ouch. I bought a Townshend Seismic Sink HD and slipped it under the 'table, no real improvement. So, I'm going to sell the Sink and get something else, question is, what can I use to keep my rig from bouncing around? Thanks in advance for any and all suggestions, Jeff

I went wild building a wall mount shelf for my P-25.I bought some heavy steel 18"long L brackets and bolted them to 2 2x4's which I then bolted to the wall.The bolts go through the wall to the outside where they are very tightly secured with nuts.On top of the brackets I placed 4 rubber grommets.On top of those a 16"x16" x1" MDF shelf rests and on top of that a Bright Star Audio Big Rock #4.Never had a problem amd the sound improvement was very noticeable.
