If you wanna first try something ultra cheap, you can experiment with Diversitech EVA pads. They work really good under my subs. They are not audiophile products, but a power conditioner isn't a preamp ;-)

When I listened to similar pads, rubber, cork rubber it degraded the sound. These pads are described as being much better for vib damping than rubber cork rubber so it does indeed look like they might be worth a try if one doesn't want to get the wonderful EAR C-1002.

"Description
EVA (Extreme Vibration Attenuation) is the latest generation in vibration dampening technology. In the most severe vibration extremes, testing shows the EVA pad outperforms cork and rubber by greater than 3:1 and outperforms competitor's "waffle" pad by greater than 8:1! The enhanced performance comes from the special composite foam center which is structurally more sound than cork. EVA is not affected by oils or chemicals that can break down cork and is much more effective at vibration dampening than solid rubber. Designed to withstand 50 psi. Choose EVA to get the best of both worlds!"

Denied facts are still facts.

  Well possibly, I haven't heard the EVA pads under electronics, and I probably wouldn't try, but I believe if indeed a power conditioner responds well to vibration control devices, there still isn't any audio signal traveling through it, and you probably have more options than for a DAC or a preamp.
  
  (I seem to recall however someone using the EVA pads under his electronics and liking the results, but...)
  
  they certainly are cheap enough to deserve a try!
