Well I had my PT Anniversary on a isolation platform on the main rack for years and no urge to do more. Then I changed how I housed the main kit and decided a wall shelf might be the answer for the turntable and the difference was not subtle, greater focus bass extension and clarity so for me the answer is a resounding YES !

And that's with an Anniversary, one of the best sprung decks ever made, with unusually high resistance to vibration. I have yet to come across a deck (below stuff like a Rockport) which did not audibly benefit from good isolation. You can't have too much of it. Doesn't have to cost a lot either.
