Maybe another way to reduce vibration is to suspend a platform with 
bungie cords, or heavy springs which are rubber mounted to both the 
ceiling and the floor, and for complete ridance of vibration, is to 
have such a platform in which thousands of opposing refrigerator 
magnets are attached to each surface for suspension, obviosly you 
would have to attach lanyards to keep the platform from hitting the 
walls, and all thats left is ambient vibration, and thats a whole 
different matter I will leave up to a sound guy......
