Hi Stehno,
I read your carefully thought through comments regarding the negative effect of resonance within the music chain..In fact I am in complete agreement with every point you made...I commented on the air bladder query within the limitations of that particular type of device..The fact that it will allow devices to 'roll with the punch" of airborne shock waves offers somewhat of an improvement over using nothing...In my own system and from very early on I have been a firm believer in mass damping and driving micro vibrations to ground...I think the only area that we may differ on is the use of sand...

In those instances where you cannot connect the drain points to a true base such as a poured concrete floor...(for example where a raised sub-floor)has been used...I have found that a good sized low profile box filled with 20 or 30 lbs of dry sand can be an effective method. It will allow a pathway for excess resonance in which to dissipate as heat within The millions of vibration reactive particulates. I have found that this method also provides for good isolation as well..In my set up every device is topped with heavy copper and sand filled boxes..and every thing is mounted on points...It is only after I spent much time experimenting and dealing with the issues of unwanted resonance being entrapped within components that I was able to hear how well my system could perform.
"What a great ride"!!
