The isolators that I have, and the ones that I have seen most often, are made (were made?) by Audio Technica. I don't know if even the best isolation feet are going to solve your problems, however. A better solution is probably to mount a heavy, well-built shelf on the wall, and place your table there. The floor vibrations will be strongly attenuated by this technique, and isolation feet will then have a fighting chance. The shelf better be very rigidly attached to the wall, using braces and mounted on the studs, or you'll be trading one problem for another. -- Steve Schley ihnp4!mmm!schley Brought to you by Super Global Mega Corp .com
