Nottingham resonance control


I am trying to figure out how to do away with those rubber feet, both under the table and the motor. Or at least to greatly improve the table-platform interface.
Currently, my Spacedeck sits on a 3" maple block which is right on the hardwood floor with Boston Audio tuneblocks under it. No Nottingham platform. My speakers are on Boston Audio tuneblocks for speakers. I have very little floor vibration even at high volume level.
I was thinking about Walker resonance control discs or Steelpoints. Steelpoints are very expensive, Walker discs are $50 each. I would need six - three for the table and three for the motor.
What are your thoughts and experience?
Oh, yes, I am also using Boston Audio Mat-1.

When I had a space deck I had SRA, ( Silent Running Audio ) make a custom VR base specifically for it. Yes, it was expensive but I felt it was money well spent. ( about $800 some years ago ). Tried Stillpoints, did not like them on the Nottingham as well but I do use them on most everything else.
Inna, I upgraded my Nottingham to getting out of vinyl. Not really an upgrade but I wanted to simplify my system, de-clutter the house. I had always wondered what I would do if someone offered to buy all my albums and analog rig on the spot for a good price and about a year and a half ago that happened. Sold all the albums, TT, phono amp, record racks, ultrasonic cleaner, everything. I replaced it all with a MSB Analog DAC and Universal Media Transport Plus CD transport. Kept the same speakers and amps. Now, if I was going for the best sound, I would go vinyl. I just wanted to be more mobile and downsize. With the Nottingham TT the biggest benefits were in order of importance: 1. Ultrasonic cleaner, I loved this, great big benefit. 2. Benz Gullwing SLR cartridge. 3. but a close to the #2, Nottingham Heavy Kit. Great big benefit in improving slam, detail and clarity, 4. SRA base 5. Nottingham Wave mechanic power supply. I also tried the Walker and they were equally beneficial. The Spacedeck is a great TT. Oh, and I don't regret my move to pure digital but I can fully understand the draw to vinyl.
