The Townshend Seismic Pods retail at £99 each, but AoS members can expect a decent discount. A Seismic Platform costs rather more, of course, but since you have a motor unit bolted firmly to a nice heavy plinth, you don't need a complete platform to isolate the deck from vibrations passing up from the structure of your house - a set of Pods will do that job comprehensively. Remove those structure-borne vibrations and something rather magical happens to the music - after all a pickup cartridge is designed to be a sensitive vibration measurement transducer, so if you can leave it to track solely what's going on in the groove, better music will result. The Pods won't work with a floppy suspended deck, but they will with yours.
How difficult can it be to design and make an isolating foot?
It wouldn't be beyond me.
Mind you, some turntables benefit from being coupled to what they sit on rather than isolated from it.
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!
