Here's another idea that someone may find helpful.
I live in a middle-aged duplex. The living room is a wood floor, there
is a basement below. When we first moved in, we set up the turntable on
furniture (e.g. bookshelf, table) that set on the (carpeted) floor.
No turntable could handle it. All you had to do was walk toward it to
adjust the controls or something, and the arm would hop across the record.
I doubt that massive tables or bricks or anything would have worked. The
entire floor goes up and down like a trampoline, causing everything to sway.
We got some of those shelf rails you mount on the wall, put them up on the
drywall with molly bolts, hung the shelf, and presto....
About the only thing that makes the phono skip now is slamming
the front door, pounding the wall, or jumping rope.
