I use DIY roller-ball suspensions

supported by beams in place of shelves on Lovan rack frames. My floor is suspended, so you may not need as much horizontal isolation as I do. It depends on whether the dirt under the concrete has settled and created drum-head areas in your floor.

I cemented sheets of heavy stainless steel to the bottoms of my butcher-block cutting boards to allow them to ride freely on the ball bearings. There is very little compliance below the Deflex in my setup, but the floor can flex like a drum-head. The Lovan rack frames are filled with damping materials and spiked to the carpeted floor.
