If you're looking at a low cost approach, I would probably go with a maple cutting board at least 2 inches thick with some type of isolation/vibration footers between it and the rack. Many people have had excellent results with Boos cutting boards available online or at Williams Sonoma or Sur La Table. Opinions seem to differ as to what to use for footers....I've read great results with squishy rubber feet as well as brass cones and more solid solutions. I'm considering trying out one of the Symposium ISO platforms for my table.

My Symposium Segue ISO platform under my TT helps a lot with footfalls. It is on isolating springs. It makes my TT sound better even if I am not walking around also. As a bonus it is not too expensive.

Also have a SEGUE ISO MD and supported the TT with 3 stacks of 2 precision couplers attached.
Works great.

Did you notice a big difference in the sound quality before/after.....regardless of footfall issues etc.??

This platform was 4" thick and I still had to walk around like I was on wet rice paper.


Not until I went wall mounted was I able to walk normally.

If you are serious about turntable isolation, HERZAN is your answer.

The TS series is what you want. The TS-140, TS-150 or TS-300 are your best options.

You can google them.

NOTHING beats ACTIVE isolation. STILLPOINTS IS A JOKE not in the same class.

Be prepared to spend $10,000-$14,000.

Minus K isolation is the ultimate I've heard (or not heard).

I also find the Gingko Cloud to be very effective.
