[78-L] Turntable vibration isolation

[goldenbough at arcor.de]

I have a foam mat underneath my turntable, and it has been working fine for several years. 
It's that kind of plastic foam that has 'nipples' on one side. I wonder what exactly they 
are for. Do they use it in recording studios to put them on the walls? 

I tried several things to reduce turntable vibrations and even jumping of the needle when 
somebody walks in my record room.  Nothing really worked, including expensive accessories. 
I also tried 'flat on two sides' plastic foam, but it is too hard and transmits the vibrations. I even 
tried using 4 smaller pieces of this 'both sides flat' floam to increase the flexibility, but it never 
worked, whatever size I reduced the 4 pieces at the 4 corners of the turntable to. 

I have no idea where exactly you can get such a 'nippled' foam. I got it in a parcel with records, 
where it was used to protect the discs. 

Now you can dance in my record room. Highly recommended.
