I tried a $500 power cord, but I still get vibrations!

I was around for that discussion, but kept my head down.  Seriously though,
I'm not interested in "improving the soundstage" or anything like that, but
are the products on Nauck's, KAB, or Esoteric Sound likely to help my
particular problem?  Somebody recommended concrete or marble slabs to me
off-list, but I'm not sure that's practical in my apartment.

The ceiling above me is just as creaky.  I routinely hear the upstairs
neighbors coming in from the bar at 2 AM, getting up for a midnight snack,
etc.

I'm in Atlanta, so no subway to worry about, though I do hear a freight
train off in the distance sometimes!
