Damping Rega Table

I have found that even though my Rega 2 table sits on a hard tiled floor,it still resonates quite a bit and sends "tapping" on the plinth right through the speakers.I am considering using "Brown Bread" bitumen sheets under the plinth,as soundproofing.Is this a viable or stupid idea?stefanl

Having considered my immediate options I put together a slap-up job of a 2inch concrete slab on pointy rubber feet as an isolation platform.Should I later try sorbothane feet on this? It is quite heavy and might be too much weight.stefanl

An alternative to sorbothane feet are the ribbed rubber cork centered footers sold by Rcreations on Audiogon at a bargain $10 per set of four. Using three footers avoids wobble of the platform being supported, and you can check with this vendor if your concrete slab weight is within the capabilities of these footers.
