Here is an idea that might interest some of you with turntable isolation
problems:  Build a box (four sides and a bottom) out of particle board or
3/4 inch plywood large enough so that your table will fit inside with
a little room to spare (2" - 3") on all sides and about a foot deep.
Fill the box about 3/4 full of sand (clean & dry).  Have a piece of
tempered glass cut so that it just fits inside the box with about 1/2"
clearance on each side.  Level off the sand.  Place the glass on the
sand.  Place the turntable on the glass.  Put the whole thing on a very
stable surface (table, shelves, concrete blocks, etc.).

Someone gave me this idea a long time ago -- I haven't tried it but it
sounds interesting.
