Turntable that will be around heavy foot steps?


Looking for suggestions for turntables that would be used in a show/demo environment where there would be heavy foot steps/footfall about 3-6 feet from the turntable. Think Headfi vendor exhibition tables if you've been to a Canjam or the like.

Using it with an isolation platform is also an option. Lets say under $10k for used including the tonearm.

SOTA turntables are genuinely fantastic at this, and getting one is a hell of a lot easier (and more aesthetic) than trying to isolate for your specific room/floor/etc.

Outboard spring/mass solutions may work well too, but SOTA’s suspensions are simply tuned perfectly for their own mass, and oscillate at the right frequency to deflect most of the damaging energy - not like the super-springy, unstable suspensions on other turntables that you may recall from the past.
