Laminated bamboo has excellent vibration damping properties. I found that an inexpensive laminated bamboo cutting board provides very good results when placed under my PLC's with Herbie's Audio Lab footers involved in the configuration. Here's what I'll suggest as a cost effective option for your narrow footprint Blue Circle power bar...

Herbie's Audio Lab Baby Bootie feet (w/pressure-sensitive adhesive) - Place a quantity of four (4) under your power bar:

TruBamboo Medium Palm Beach Model 3121 laminated bamboo cutting board (6-1/4" x 13-1/2" x 3/4") - Place your power bar on top of the board:

Herbie's Audio Lab Gabon Ebony Dome with 1.6mm grungebuster base (w/pressure-sensitive adhesive) - Place a set of three (3) in a stable tripod configuration under the laminated bamboo cutting board and then place board on your ceramic floor:

Does bamboo offer better vibration damping than carbon fiber? These folks think so:
