It does!

I can't avoid bring up the isolation / dampening discussion :

I thought of rubber (thin layer, not a block) as a dampenig material, dampenig being, as I see it, a first stage towards isolation. It would have not been close to the component, and part of an heavier isolation device (think of that thick wooden slab I intended to use as a top sheet).

You seem to think light : do you feel there is something "wrong" with the heavy way?

If I decided to go light, I would then go for a thin (1/2in.) hardwood plate laminated to a foam core layer, laminated to a thick balsa slab (1 1/2in.).

But then, taking in consideration that what I use as a rack is not sturdy as should be, should I use vibrapods or vibracones instead of very rigid studs?
