Turntable isolation platform Recommendations?


I currently have a Critical Mass isolation platform on loan. Does anyone have any other suggestions I might look at?  Possibly considering the HRS 

any feedback would be greatly appreciated..

@chakster - isolation is a feature of a turntable. Some environments may not require isolation as the sound coming out of the speakers will not resonate. Many turntables can benefit from isolation treatment from Townshend, Symposium, and many others, and you should not ridicule someone who likes a turntable that is not designed for bad environments.

For example, Rega offers a wall shelf (there are plenty of other excellent ones as well) that is recommended to be used for these types of scenarios. It is a modest cost and even if added to the cost of one of their tables, the sound and value are deemed preferable by probably millions (maybe hundreds of thousands) of casual or more serious audiophiles. Not everyone wants to spend thousands on a turntable or wants to buy something mass produced.

I wonder if you ever tried additional isolation for your turntable(s). It might improve the sound, you never know until you listen.
@rdk777 - you could save a bundle with the Townshend seismic platform, ideally on top of a wall mounted shelf. Has a thin steel plate with the pods screwed in. Just make sure to order the right weight capacity pods.
