Isolation stands: snakeoil?


I understand that turntables are uniquely effected by vibrations due thier sensitivity to that kind of energy. But here’s the thing: most turntables, especially decent ones, have vibration control measures built into them via footers and various construction techniques. So, the question is: are turntable stands / shelves with isolation features actually beneficial or are they just horrendously overpriced accessories for audiophiles?

Turntables are sensitive to vibration which affect the sound and performance, more so than any other audio component.    

Some products/solutions solve the problem better and for less cost than others.   So not all solutions created equal.
