"No brainer" or what not, here is what I've done.

Hi.

All my componets, active like amps, passive like speaker cables, are lifted up from its support base/platform/floor.

For my power amps, tube & SS, & for my tube phono/linestage, are all DIY-bolted with 3-in-a-set steel spikes at their metal chassis, so that the amps are 'floated' on their support base. This steel spikes, pointing down, act as a one-way coupler to transfer any mechnical vibration from the unit due to acoustical feedbacks onto the base, yet rejecting any structural vibration fed back up from the support platform/floor.

I found it improves the overal sonic perpectives, e.g. transparency, soundstaging bigtime.

Besides, these steel spikes cost me next to nothing.
