VPI Scout Placement

I have been tinkering with my newly acquired VPI Scout and could use some advice... I have wood, carpeted floors and the slightest thump or walking across the room will send the stylus skipping. Unfortunately wall mounting is not an option due to space restrictions and room configuration. I have a Sanus rack for my other gear and I am sure that needs to be upgraded but I like the idea of having the TT near my listening position. Presently the TT is on a heavy wood coffee table. Your expertise would be greatly appreciated by this newby.

Get yourself a 2-3" thick maple cutting board, put some cones underneath it, put the Scout on it. If you want to keep the whole shebang near your listening position, place the maple/cone assembly on top of an inexpensive amp stand.
That will raise it up off the floor to a pretty respectable height, and should really help with the footfall issues.
