RE: "Well, I tried mass-loading" ...

Just to point out that's not mass loading, what you tried. Mass loading requires mass to be located above the object that's vibrating. Increasing the total load (weight). F=ma, the load is in the direction of the force of gravity, vertical. An example of mass loading is placing a heavy slab of granite on top of a speaker cabinet. Or placing a heavy glass weight on top of a preamp. What you did wasn't really damping either, for effective damping you need viscoelastic material or some constrained layer type dampener.
