The thread for isolating the "Rock"?I'm not sure if this thread mentions what I did to the platter, or the Vibrapods I used under the feet, but it does show what I did for the Corian base.

Thank you - great idea!
For the platter I ordered a sheet of 1/4" thick sorbothane, cut out a circle the size of the mat and placed it between the mat and the platter. Sorbothane turns the vibrational energy into heat and disipates it, thus completely deadening the platter.Years ago Audioquest sold a mat made of sorbojel for $90, I liked the first one so much I purchased a second. Unknown to me and many others it has a reaction with vinyl causing the vinyl to blister, like it has the measles. Ya, ruined many of my most treasured records before I realized what was going on. I read somewhere where Audioquest refunded and/or replaced many customers albums.
But that's beside the point, the point is it works, even when under the mat. Now at first listen with it under the mat you might think something is wrong, don't take it out, you need to acclimate to just how much more music you're hearing and how much less platter, really, I'm not kidding. Be prepared if you take this final step for a soundstage scarily holographic.
This alone had the biggest impact on the sound.
