It seems reasonable to begin with the science -- as a preliminary to listening -- but I do not follow the logic here. The source of the vibration is principally the floor: the table should therefore not be coupled with spikes but decoupled from the floor. Once decoupled, the high mass would be damping, rather than acting as a reservoir of kinetic energy for the transmitted vibrations, especially if when decoupled the perturbing forces are non-stationary, as I imagine will be the case (random footsteps, something falling nextdoor, etc). The situation seems to me analogous to sound proofing, where what works best is sandwiching a high mass layer between two decoupling layers, no? Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
