get a thick plywood board larger than the TT by at least 4 inches in each direction (1" baltic birch if available or double up two 3/4") and hang on 4 chains from the ceiling, just make sure you anchor into joists. hang the chains at slight outward angle in all directions (joists should be 12" on center so say 24 or 36 inches apart at the ceiling) to advoid swinging. if you get J-hooks you can adjust the chains with a nut till level by drilling 4 holes at the corners of the board. depending on TT mass you might want to add some mass under the TT to add stablity but this should isolate the TT from almost anything but direct contact and insane DB sound levels. i have not tryed this myself but can not see why it would not work wonderfully, used to see it used back in the 70s. If propery anchored into joists near walls (i would go out a foot from the wall), should support 200 lbs. easily.
