You could probably slop together your own freefloat type things with a quick trip to the dollar store...

Or maybe try an subsonic filter.....that might work by cutting the low low freq.

Or move the speakers away form the turntables!

i think tennis balls are too small.. or at least the ones we got for it at pause were a pain in the arse and wouldnt fit on.

Buy eight rolls of duct tape or packing tape (something sizable with a large hole in the middle, basically), and a LOT of rubber bands. Take the packaging off of the rolls, and start stretching the rubber bands around them, with lots of crisscrossing. With enough rubber bands in place it will form a cushion that you can put the legs of the turntable in.

It's not perfect but apparently it works fairly well, plus you get bonus MacGuyver points

hah never seen them freefloats before... id be a bit daunted if i were to spin in a club n saw them under the decks. but i guess they work, i found that putting a square of thick soft foam underneath the decks works too.. dampens the vibrations a bit

I read somewhere that a good thing to use is practice ice hockey pucks, apparently they are some of the best things to use, I don't know how available these things are though,

I see you are in israel, so it's prob easier to get something else, I for one would not even know where to begin looking for pucks.

I suppose if your where from canada they would be easy to find.

i've been told that pucks are the best solution as well
pucks are dirt cheap, i'm sure you could order a load of them over the internet
all it takes is a little leg work... which seems to be the common theme when it comes to djing, leg work and more leg work
