I have been using small size sealed (unopened) cans of mandarin orange slices in water as turntable footers for a few years now, on both my Denon DP80 in a slate plinth and my Lenco L75, also in a slate plinth. Using double-sided tape, I fixed a Black Diamond racing tiptoe to the bottom of each can, such that the sides of the cylinder do not make contact with the shelf. At the interface between the top of the can and the underside of the slate slab, I use another offset (can be anything rigid) to prevent the slate from contacting the sides of the cylinder. Thus all energy in either direction must pass through the contents of the can and across the "tin" somewhat flexible tops of the cans. Three per slate slab. Total cost $6. per turntable. (I had the Black Diamond tiptoes lying around doing nothing; could use any tiptoe.) Sauer Kraut works too but not quite as well. In my rationale, the orange slices in the water milieu provide a bit of energetic chaos to help dissipate energy within the can.
If you remove the paper labels from the circumference of the can, the look of the semi-glossy ribbed tin cylinder is kind of neat and Art Deco-ish.
