Based on the fact that I have a suspended wooden floor (80 years young!) - no carpet under speaks, just area rugs in center of room, I was thinking it might be best to decouple...but was worried about the "rocking" of compliant material smearing the imaging. Although the Herbies literature seems to differentiate their products from other compliant materials in this regard...which is what had me thinking about them.

However, the roller balls on a constrained layer seems interesting.

I have some BDR's and FIM roller bearings...will play around with and see what works in my situation.

Also, will get the Herbies and play around with them...

What kind (make up) of constrained layer are you using? Did you countersink the rollerball plates into the platform?
