Turntable isolation for bedroom floor

Hi all

I was going to have my system set up in a room with a solid concrete floor but circumstances have forced me to use a bedroom (only for the purposes of a listening room!)

I'm currently using a Roksan Xerxes 20plus on a solid oak plinth under which are 4 magnetic isolation feet. The racks are Atacama Evoque Special Edition.

The set-up certainly helps with drastically reducing vibrations from my speakers (which are on Audio Physic VCF V feet), but it isn't good at reducing foot fall......any suggestions to reduce this...?

Thanks 

Rich

@goheelz it’s the first floor of my house.
Wall may be possible...to be honest I forgot about that!!

@elizabeth thanks, interesting approach, I’ll try it...

@bdp24 that would be very nice but at the moment I don’t have the funds...I spent the budget on a speaker upgrade!

@mijostyn yeah I’ll be looking into wall mounting as well...

@millercarbon  that's very interesting, thanks for the suggestion. 
How about placing the one rack with the turntable in the sand...?

@mulveling  thanks for your input. I'll certainly try removing the magnetic feet. Maybe try sorbothane hemispheres...??

@geoffkait  what would you say is the purpose of the magnetic feet? When I had stand mount speakers I found they improved the sound significantly...
I know you can't really compare isolating speakers to turntables...
