Resonance control via tonewoods...

Image: Acacia tonewood plinth (3/4 inch edge grain board).

My POV concerning vibration control is *control* of vibrations (think resonance), not a full elimination thereof (life totally sucked out). I find tonewoods such as maple, with acacia wood and laminated bamboo (while actually a grass, not a wood) being my favorites tend to improve multiple listening cues while still maintaining a pleasant tonal quality; presenting a discernible musical sonic signature rather than sounding non-lively (deadened). Audiophile components are musical instruments, not laboratory test equipment ;-)

Vibration control footers and/or cones when placed above and below the platform/plinth can do wonders to further improve the performance of a vibration controlled component.
