RE: Looking for experience in damping material

I don't have a specific recommendation for you. What you use depends upon what you're trying to accomplish.

If there are vibrations which are generated internally in your turntable, that's one thing. If you're looking for a more stable and solid base upon which to place your turntable, that's another.

Breaking it down to the nitty gritty, what you're dealing with is a mass/spring resonant system. Reducing unwanted vibrations and troublesome resonances is a well-understood science. Google "vibration control" and you'll have enough stuff to read 'til next year.

Ok, that's all I've got for now. Gotta go make another drink.
