For a total investment of less than $10 I find this isolation technique works extremely well. Go to Walmart and buy a few 3 ball packages of Penn racquetballs. Go to their drapery department and buy a package of wood drapery rings with a 1 3/8ths inch opening. Remove the metal screw/clip portion from the drapery ring. Place 4 drapery rings on the self under were the four component corners will be positioned. Put a racquetball in the middle of each ring. Place the component directly on top of the racquetballs. You can easily feel the difference this makes by putting one hand on the component shelf and rapping the shelf underneath it with your other hand. You will likely feel considerable vibration. Now put your hand on top of the component and rap the shelf beneath it with your other hand. You will probably not feel any vibration. Heavier components may require the use of additional balls. If anyone tries this and likes the results I would like to hear from you. Good luck!
