I've tried a lot of DIY vibration control--brass, wood, cups, ball bearings, brass ball bearings in combo with wood or brass, magnets, inner tubes, pumice, magic eraser--eventually I came to realize that even though it's fun to experiment, it's also satisfying to not have to strain my ears to hear a very slight difference.
All this led me to my own personal caveat that you need two things, 1) sensitive hearing and 2) sensitive equipment--if you don't have both forget about hearing much difference (this may be why certain people claim that if you can't measure it, you can't hear it, as they may lack both)!
Eventually I bit the bullet and went with Herbie's products (I do have some vibrapods) and realized sometimes leave it to the professionals. Then I bit another bullet and spent the money and am heavily invested in IsoAcoustics products. These made a HUGE difference and I now use them under every piece of equipment as well as my speakers. Their Iso-pucks are, I think, about $100 for an 8 pack which is a good deal. I have not A/B'd them against their own Orea product line which I have, and the Orea's are more expensive and more solid/heavier.
So, if you have sensitive ears and sensitive equipment and don't want to spend the money, try DIY. If you have the money, or ask Santa for IsoAcoustics go with that. Good luck!
