Take a cement block 12x12 from Home Depot and paint it black. Then go to Wal-mart and get racquet balls, one container. Then cut those in half and place 4 under the cement block and then 3 between the cement under the player. Feel free to fill the half racquet balls with led for further vibration control.

Andy Or, go buy 16 "squash balls" - I'm not sure if these are the same as "racquet balls" - and put 4 of them together in each corner, under the cement block. In fact, an 18"x18" cement paver is better, if you are supporting something bigger and heavier - like a turntable - and you may therefore need 20 or 24 squash balls underneath it.

By not cutting the squash/racquet balls in half, you get the full benefits of an air isolation platform. Once you've saved up the US$3,000, you can go buy a Vibraplane and junk the DIY isolation platform!!
