Would an Isolation TT platform further improve my TT?


My new Luxman PD-171 A TT weighs around 55 lbs. and it sits on a heavy audio stand. The floor is carpeted w/a cement base. Prior to this TT I had a Linn w/was much more sensitive and didn't need an additional stand. I wonder if adding an isolation platform would be beneficial to my current TT. I was looking at Butcher Block Acoustics and MDF W/Lead Core and Sorbothane Feet.

And, the seismic vibrations traveling across the Earth's crust are, Max Townshend claims, many times greater in microns than is the distance a tweeter travels when reproducing a not-that-high a frequency. As are the vibrations that swamp the squiggles in the LP groove the cartridge is attempting to measure.
What ever became of Torlyte? It was claimed to be stiff, but how stiff can very thin strips of wood be, even if fabricated into a honeycomb structure? There was one valid claim made for it: it's very low mass did not store and release energy. The stuff was like balsa wood!
