should I suspend a floor-standing turntable?

Hey all, I have a Denon DP-300F turntable and I'm worried about vibrations. I live on the top floor of an apartment complex, and the floors are pretty bouncy. Would it be better to place the turntable on say, an end table or a desk rather than on the floor?

Thanks for reading. I wish I could place it on a wall-mounted stand, but I'm not allowed to mount anything to the walls here.

Although these are fairly expensive, they illustrate the kind of arrangement I would suggest. A maple block on top of rubber/cork footers. I think you might be able to find similar material for the footers less expensively at Home Depot, or via Amazon.com (search for "vibration damping pads"). Or you can buy the "Isoblock" footers from Mapleshade separately for $24, and obtain the maple block elsewhere.
