My new Well Tempered and opinions as to Isolation

As a preface:

I seldom post here-- as sometimes less of me equals more :)

It seems as though a killer deal for a very minty late model, black platter, carbon fibre arm, upgraded wiring, Well Tempered Classic V came across my path ---

Could I refuse NO!
(sorry Teres folks yer still in my heart.)

I have set it up with my DV10x4, (not ultimately dialed in yet) good lord that silicon is schticky schtuff.

It INDEED SOUNDS LIKE HEAVEN, but as retentive as I am, I know I can do better ---

SO isolation ideas anyone ? (those with practical WT experience only please.)

I am thinking along the lines of a way to get those silly feet outta the way, and perhaps one of the "Bed Bath and Beyond" maple cutting boards (1 or 2 maybe). ?

I am leaning toward a Shelter 501, or a Denon 103R as my carts to get this front end where I really want it.

Decca is on the list, but I dunno if that is a good thing at this point.

Any other cool tweaks are appreciated as well ---

Ideas, avenues ?

Thanks

I do not work for a company that sells isolation devices so you should trust me, not that other guy.

I do not own a WT table, and after once owning a Teres, I will never own a Teres again. Sorry.

But, I do own a GreaterRanges Neuance shelf that is custom made for a Gyro and it works great. Don't just listen to me though. Search the archives at AA to see what others think of the shelf. The shelf will be made custom for your turntable and rack etc. What more could you want than someone who can make an isolation device custom for your tt for the bargain price of $175 (compared to the price of other isolation shelfs and products it is a good price). And the person behind the product, Ken Lyon, will talk your ear off when you call him to discuss this approach, at no extra charge. He no doubt has some interesting ideas on what a shelf should do with a deck that has constrained layered damping.
