How to isolate turntable from footstep shake or vibration
You got that one right, there are an awful lot of factors that go into it, which is why I lean so heavily on educating on principles first and recommending specific solutions second. If I was there in person it would be pretty easy to eyeball and ... 
Townshend Audio F1 Fractal Interconnects - Less is More!
And believe it or not that is exactly what annoys them so much, that I have the temerity to accurately and enthusiastically describe and promote anything and everything that I can find if it will in any way make my system - and yours - sound bette... 
Gimbal vs unipivot tonearms
No issues, billwojo. Just experienced enough to know every connection is a discontinuity, and a weakness. In fact if you read my post again it is about connections. As for me, the one thing I have learned over the years is the fewer connections th... 
Ok, but does your audio gear have rotons (metamaterials)?
Sound is an experience, like color. If a speaker falls it will vibrate the air, but with no one there to hear it there will be no sound. Just as there is no color without an eye to see it there is no sound without an ear to hear it. https://youtu.... 
How to isolate turntable from footstep shake or vibration
As others have stated, adding springs under a table having a spring suspension is a very bad idea (imagine a car having two sets of springs for each wheel!)They’re called helper springs. https://www.tarett.com/items/996-997-991-products/996-997-99...

Townshend Podiums, Pods, Platforms, and Bars: 3Hz.

No, they will never be done. It's not just a river in Egypt, you know. 
Speaker suggestions please - going to the BIG city
If you will be in Portland then I recommend a side trip up to Redmond where after hearing my Moabs you will realize you have found your speakers.    Bonus, you will also be able to hear and compare:    Townshend: Podiums, Pods, Supertweeters, and ...

Okay. I get it now. But you know who, as bad as he is at listening, is even worse at reading.

"this work utilized a high-performance audio system and extended-duration listening protocol that more closely resembles audiophile auditioning conditions. With these measures the present work was able to prove through direct psychoacoustic testin... 
Gimbal vs unipivot tonearms
Exactly. Tone arms are like everything else all down to how well an innumerable list of details is executed. Really good tone arms can be made from all sorts of different designs. There are examples of terrific arms made using wood, carbon fiber, ... 
How to isolate turntable from footstep shake or vibration
Matter of fact that is exactly what I recommend doing, putting the spring suspended table here on top of a Townshend Podium or Platform. Don't know which Oracle we're talking about here and I'm not familiar with their suspensions either. But all w... 
SQ - AV processor preouts vs. stereo linestage preamp
There is no such thing as a High end AVR. The AVR is the worst component in all of audio. The AVR is so bad even running something through it in pure bypass mode is enough to make it sound worse. I worry some may think I am kidding, or exaggeratin... 
Can we finally put Reel to Reel out of its misery? Put it to rest people.
My first and only deck was a Pioneer RT-1011L, which I would probably still have except for one thing: head wear. The heads had obvious visible wear at a time when I was too broke to replace them. So I wound up practically giving it away. One of t...

As usual, it's all about the implementation, not the technology itself. Correct: The Devil's in the details.
