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.

You guys sometime make me want to pull out whatever hair I have left. You are spending someone else money without analyzing the situation.
The TT is sitting on a heavy stand on a concrete floor. There is no isolation platform that is better than four inches of concrete and there is no isolation platform that will help in case of an earthquake! If you are more worried about isolation then get a SOTA or an SME or a Basis. Those turntables do not care what you put them on. 
Luxmanc138 spend your money on another cartridge or more music or taking the wife out. Buy her some flowers. Your turntable is just fine where it is. Don't fix problems that do not exist.
