Does anyone use wood for vibration control?

$3-8 bamboo bread boards/chopping blocks work very well.

Bamboo has natural vibration absorption qualities so you can put them on your glass shelf, cabinet top, racks or whatever.
The boards even come in different sizes from 8x6" to 20x14" and some in between.
Sometimes, cheap can be good. lol

This is way over my head.  But what about lead. Buy at home depot.  I've heard of people using it to deaden sound. As far as reducing vibration unknown to me. Has anyone tried this?

I also have (3) Myrtle Wood blocks with my Ayre DX-5 player. Keep me posted on key placement for best outcome.  Happy Listening!

If tonearms and cartridges are engineered to have resonant frequencies circa 10-12 Hz, then it’s absolutely illogical to conclude that isolating the turntable from seismic frequencies will reduce vibration of the tonearm and cartridge. Whatever hocus-pocus you apply to your turntable, you won’t alter the resonant frequency of the tonearm and cartridge.

Good rule of thumb: Don’t listen to your vinyl during an earthquake.

>>>>>You must not have gotten the memo. Seismic frequencies include all very low frequency vibrations from footfall, traffic, subways, wind and the continuous microseismic activity, all of which affect the tonearm and cartridge natural frequencies. Earthquakes have almost nothing to do with it. Better luck next time.

I use a thick maple cutting board under my VPI turntable with their big isolating feet. Works well.
