I got some Isol-Pads for free when I purchased a CD player, I didn't like them under the CDP, but they work great under my Scout for reducing shock and resonance, and tightened up the sound overall. You could try these under the points and the motor on a piece of maple butcher block, I would think this would work well, and the Isol-Pads are cheap. The Gingko is great but much more expensive than this setup. Go to natdistribution.com to check them out.
VPI Scout Placement
I have been tinkering with my newly acquired VPI Scout and could use some advice... I have wood, carpeted floors and the slightest thump or walking across the room will send the stylus skipping. Unfortunately wall mounting is not an option due to space restrictions and room configuration. I have a Sanus rack for my other gear and I am sure that needs to be upgraded but I like the idea of having the TT near my listening position. Presently the TT is on a heavy wood coffee table. Your expertise would be greatly appreciated by this newby.
