In the sand box

I have 2 audio buddies who have built component sandboxes with different types of sand. They claim Beach sand is the most dense and made a huge difference when the turntable and amp were set in them. Has anyone else been down this road? I mean there are several ways to isolate equipment, this is just one of many.

I am using soft sponge hockey pucks, and that has stopped all vibrations that I am able to record?

You are correct, it was play sand they used, not beach sand.

I tried a 2 " thick piece of Granite from a sink cut out from a countertop under my turntable, it caused severe ringing and the sound in the room was terrible. Staying with the sponge hockey pucks.
