There is this Phono hobbyist in the UK that has taken it upon himself to test and publish from his website the damping factors of various materials to be used in this hi-fi hobby. His moniker is Cats Squirrel. He posts at forums like DIY Audio and Vinyl Engine with his opinions and results.
His test method seems to be that he gets a sample of the material to be tested. Then from a specified distance drops a steel ball on the material. Meanwhile an accelerometer has been fitted to the sample material to induce a signal from the material, upon being hit, to electronics instruments he has hooked up downstream.
He has amassed quite a list of measures. Probably worth a look if you seek a support structure that won't ring like the proverbial bell.....as will marble. Link below.
