Does anyone use wood for vibration control?

So, I do find the subject of coupling/decoupling gear of great interest. 

Between all the tremendous witticisms, there is some information that I am finding helpful, especially as I am trying to figure out how the whole thing works. 

If I understand this correctly, the "hardware" (Audio Gear) needs to be "connected" to something that will absorb any unwanted resonant frequencies present in the gear? And the "something" that is absorbing the unwanted resonances needs to be isolated from the vibrations in the "world" so there are no unwanted vibrations from the "world" that make their way into the gear?

Do I have that sort of right?

Thanks

Don't want them bouncing and taking out an eye  :)

My turntable sits on a 40lb sand filled box (Baltic Birch Ply) The "box" sits on a the shelf I built which is attached to the wall. Bought some springs today and am going to place them between the box and the shelf. Am currently using sorbothane semi circles

Hopefully I am going to notice a difference :)
