Default Turntable isolation advice needed

I have a new Dr. Feikert Blackbird turntable, it sounds great until I crank up the volume. Now I'm looking into isolation.

I have a Solidsteel HY-4 rack.
Am I better of getting an isolation board to put on top of the rack/under the TT?
Do I change the feet?
Do I put isolation pucks under the feet?

I love my TT, but here are some of the defects. At >50% on my MC8900, I feel the table vibrate some, probably robbing me of a little sound quality. At around 70-80 I start getting some low end feedback while playing music, and when the music stops I can hear my footsteps through the speakers in a form of bass.

See if you can trial the Quadraspire Qplus range. I found it more effective than the IsoAcoustic base

You could to talk to the shop where you purchased your TT. They may have some experience with the problem and can make some suggestions. Same with their distributor (MoFi).

If your TT is stock, those look to be pretty basic feet and most any form of upgrade will likely help, whether feet or a platform.

If you can feel vibs from your MA8900 then you may need want to look at isolating your speakers, which are likely the source of the feedback.

Three letters - HRS, talk to Ivan. I have been chasing this issue and tried to solve many different ways and applications. Seriously, Ivan has the answer.
