Vibration Dampening for Turntables

Anyone got any good, easy suggestions to dampen the vibrations from big speakers coming into the turntable and then creating low-end feedback?
Please do not suggest those ugly orange blow up thingies. :(
I know a solid floor is the best way to help prevent it, but thats not always an option for me. |

| Tuna cans and rubber bands, or tennis balls cut in half. |

make the base table as firm as possible... cinderblocks or bricks are usually the best way, and then add some tennis balls
also putting a rubber mat underneath the equipment, on top of the cinderblocks is a good way too
all depends on how much feedback we are talking here |

Well last time I could make a moderate tap on the side of one of my 1200s when the needle was on the record and stopped and have it feedback and grow...
Course a pair of 18" drivers were next to the decks too. |

| Google Vibration Dampening Pads. You'll get a ton of results, just find one that fits. Basically a rubber pad to put under the feet. |

| Look like the Cingular logo and from most of what I heard they suck. |

| cement patio blocks at the surface under the table, then hockey pucks or masking tape rolls with rubber bands under the decks should help you along |

| There was a company that sold professional feet for the technics decks to clubs (metal not rubber and very expensive) but I can't find it right now :( |

Yeah I've also used those cement pavers in the past and they work surprisingly well. |

| Here's the secret....cut soft grade squash balls in half - then place them underneath the feet of the TT's flat (cut) side facing up (against the bottom of the feet). They fit perfectly and are really good at damping vibration. |
