Vibration Control for Lightweight Tube Components


I'm looking for suggestions to isolate a lightweight tube preamp from vibration and resonance. Not acoustic vibration, but physical vibration from the stereo rack. When I touch the shelf the preamp sits upon, the sound can be heard thru the speakers.

I am using a heavy furniture grade stereo rack for my components, all using Herbie's Tenderfeet for isolation, including my TT. The preamp only weighs 7 lbs. and has Herbie's tube dampers applied, but needs to be decoupled from the heavy wood shelf. I've tried the Tenderfeet and Vibrapods under the preamp, but neither provided isolation from vibration.

So, what are owners of lightweight tube preamps and amps using for vibration control? (there is a limited amount of space between the shelves).

@geoffkait , interesting.
"OUR NEW PRODUCT!! - Super compressible MINI ISOLATORS - VERY LOW RATE SPRINGS FOR ISOLATING REALLY LIGHT THINGS."

Are these springs heavy enough to stand on their own? Will a board placed on top with a component be stable?

Anything less is a lack of disclosure and doing a disservice to this community. You've been around long enough and involved in enough controversy to know better. 

It's a shame this has to be brought up again.

It's actually never been brought up before.  I thought everyone knew me.  Thanks for being Johnny on the spot, Spence.

I have several types of springs.  They should be used in sets of four or more.  They are very stable when used with the proper weight.  They are especially stable being low profile compared to larger springs I used to sell. As I said earlier the springs will isolate any component - with or without a board - weighing from 1 lb to 250 lb, depending on which spring is selected.  Obviously the heavier the component the stiffer the spring has to be since you obviously want to avoid compressing the springs to the point where the coils start to touch. If you use a board you need to add the weight of the board to the weight of the component to get total weight so I know which springs to send. For example, a preamp weighs 8 lb and the board weighs 4 lb, the total weight is 12 lb. Thus 3 or 4 of the medium stiffness springs will be appropriate for that load.
I'm now convinced that I should use a suspension system for isolation. I'm going to take adg101's advice and use a bamboo cutting board with either the Moongels or geoffkait's springs beneath it.
Thanks to all for your input.

@r_f_sayles, thanks for the detailed explanation and the preamp is a UV-1.

With a preamp that light, just like a small phonostage, or DAC, what-have-you, you need to be aware of not "loading" the preamp chassis with a heavy mains cable dangling from it, causing an energy path from whatever the cable is also in contact with.
I did think about that and swapped the heavy Audience cable with the stock PC for now. I'm also supporting the ICs so they don't hang on the shelf.
