A possible solution for tuning your floor.

If you were commited to it it would not be expensive to implement it.

Probebrly run it with oil. The piston and bore set up could be about 100mm diameter and about the same high. The whole set up could sit on a concrete pileon about 150mm diameter cast inside of a carboard tube (are they called sono tubes in US?) The pilon would be anchered to the basement floor and the piston set up anchered to the pileon. closing the valve completely would lock the floor to the basement floor. as you open it you you are adjusting the dampening. The valve can be adjusted from an extension spindle  through the floor and the valve could be positioned a distence from the pileon. you would then have control of the floors movement and it could be adjusted on the fly in the room. you could implement as many as you like and adjust them independantky orhave them all running through one valve. the floor is truley anchered and adjustable.

this set up could hold many tonnes and would never require maintence. I could design and draw what working drwings you need and you could mail to a local machine shop.

Alternativle would heavey rugs or heavy ornamants placed around the room not provide sufficient ability to tune floor?? Atractive rugs with a heavy vinyl backing. You could experament with moving around some sand bags to see if any of this is veasable.

The ULF solution you mentioned would be very, very interesting to see come into reality.
