>Wouldn't it be easier and more reliable to play from a digital source? Why vinyl?
because all the best songs of the music i play are on vinyl. turntable mixing is fun. mixing digital is boring and takes no effort.

>Don't use sand it is too messy and containing it with the rubber will require good contact between the Rubber and frame transferring vibration. It would be preferable to use something like cotton balls or preserved Spanish moss. I would staple a fabric like muslin into the frame to hold your dampening material inside. The fabric should be very loose Its just there to keep it from falling out. Depending on your volume and speaker placement, especially how much bass there is, you might want a lid covered in acoustic panels.
the idea was to seal it all in. i didnt know where to put another layer of thick dense rubber on the top of the frame to seal it all in. my idea was if the sand is compacted, with the rubber being pushed down on it by the weight of the table and turntables/mixer (and technics 1210 turntables are actually quite heave, as would be the table), wouldnt moss or cotton balls be too light to absorb the basslines? the music i play has serious rumbling basslines.

i heard from someone water is a really good way of absorbing the vibrations, but, water and electrics just seems a scary combination
