How to isolate turntable from footstep shake or vibration


Even while the Oracle turnable that I use has a built-in springs suspension by design there is a low or even sub-low frequency boom every time someone walks in a room. This becomes really bad with the subwoofer’s volume set high as the low frequency footsteps make straight to subwoofer where they are amplified shaking everything around. It seems the cartridge is picking up the footsteps very efficiently as even a lightest foot down becomes audioable. What can be done to attempt to isolate the turntable from the low frequency vibrations? Interesting, that the lower the volume of the subwoofer, the less the footstep shake is evident and with the subwoofer turned off it is a barely a problem at all.

The scientist in you saves you then. Being trained in inquiry you know how to study things. That one thing all by itself was worth all the years of schooling. 
@millercarbon .

I couldn’t agree more. Learning how to learn… I have been very lucky.
@millercarbon,

not sure I agree with you on arm boards: they should have maximum dimensional and warp stability relative to the platter and ideally be free of resonance: Brass, acrylic blocks or panzerwood are way preferable to mdf or papp. Listen and learn.
Mass does not solve everything. There is loads of environmental rumble that will transmit through anything. When it gets bad enough buildings fall over. Church bells weight tons and they ring like crazy. The only way to isolate a turntable is to suspend it. 
A pair of heavy duty shelf brackets I found at a local hardware store, attached to a couple of studs with four lag bolts and a shelf made from a few pieces of pre-finished bamboo flooring did wonders for my Linn LP 12. An outside wall is best for this implementation. This proved to be a splendid, economical solution.

There is no need to spend silly money on various other fix-it schemes. The brackets and lag bolts cost about $15.00. I already had the bamboo. A small piece of 3/8" or 1/2" plywood likely would work just as well.

But, of course YMMV, to use the cliche.’
