I will suggest the rubber idea to see what material they think would work well. This snafu will be worked out. I am not putting the system in the basement with 8.5’ ceilings. The sound in the room is wonderful as is. I will consider more sound diffusing blinds.
You might be able to use something like this, but hopefully cut it on a bandsaw or something. Or maybe these, but it seems to me they're as ideal as a larger piece.
If the GC didn't know what the support was for, it's not hard to understand how they didn't realize it needed to be specific for reducing things that affect audio.
I have wood floors on Kinetics Noise Control blocks sitting on a slab. This did not work for my turntable. That's why my turntable and other sensitive equipment is in another, completely decoupled, room!
There is an air gap of about 4" between the floor and slab. There are 3 "rooms within rooms" and the floors/walls/ceiling are totally decoupled from one another and the house.

Ive said that all along. I hired a structural engineer who knew the architect I used for my room design. He was inexpensive and knew immediately how to handle my room. My subfloor was built to tolerate a load of 1500 pounds per sq foot whereas in a residence the norm is 40--60. My biggest fear was one day to find all my gear in the living room below
You should make a DXD recording of a few tracks with the SME in this room and when playing in the studio and release them without identification. Then we should be able to listen and comment in WBF.
The support beam near the TT was properly shimmed today. Foot falls are not skipping the stylus anymore. I am still proceeding with more support/blocking to stiffen floor as much as reasonably possible. Now I can enjoy the more nuanced sound reproduction of this big air room with my AF1. Good times !

To be honest I think that is valid Tang. I would expect to be able to jump up and down right next to the TT and nothing happen / literally nothing. Especially when we are going to the extreme lengths with everything else. If it doesn’t skip, it certainly doesn’t mean that the stylus is protected from micro vibrations or sub macro vibrations (whatever that is lol).
