Turntable on suspended floor - shelf or braces?


My setup is on a suspended floor over a crawl space.

I'm about to finally buy a turntable (Rega RP6 or RP8) and am going to have to to address the bouncy floor. I set up an old Thorens just to try it out and there is a severe foot-fall issues (who knows how bad other vibration will be).

Looking for suggestions on whether I would be better off to put the new deck on a wall shelf, or if I were to reinforce the floor itself?

The floor is over a crawl space with a few feet between the joists and the dirt, so I could easily install 3 or 4 jack-type supports that would bond the floor to the ground.

Does anyone have experience doing this? Would I be better off with a supported floor, or a wall shelf?

Thanks - djm

You could try either. My previous table (also suspended btw) had a severe FF issue. I used floor jacks, and it solved the issue 100%. In the adjacent room, I set up a second system, and used a wall shelf on an interior wall. It worked good, but there were times when closing a cabinet/drawer on common wall caused a FF. I have since removed the shelf, and am temporarily an using an Ikea rack. No issues thus far, but I just made the move.
