Best T/T Pods/ wood blocks to eliminate vibrations

My table is 3 feet from the right speaker. When the tonearm is in play, knocking on the table plinth or dust cover creates an amplified thumping sound. The table is a Rega P3-24 and has THREE rubber cone feet that are not removable (There are two in the front and one support in the middle at the back of the T/T. The table sounds good, but I know that feedback is degrading the sound. Need recommendations for either footers, pods, points, or blocks to eliminate that thumping sound. BTW, I can not use a wall shelf because the walls are concrete, and also cannot be drilled

Regardless of what miracles are promised by footers, if you thump the turntable when the arm is in play you are almost certain to get a thump in the speakers.

There are turntables and isolation systems that can eliminate this at the floor and even at the stand but if you move to the dust cover and plinth itself what you describe is normal.

The Vibraplane system can eliminate all floor borne vibration and eliminate all feedback but unless purchased used the cost is more than the Rega.
