Speakers on speaker stands-isolation ideas?

I have some mid sized book shelf speakers that I use on 24” high speaker stands. I’m looking for sway to best isolate the speaker and or stand from vibrations.

The current speaker stands are filled with play sand and I have blue tack underneath the speaker holding them on the stands. The stands are located on an upstairs bonus room with carpet and foam padding underneath. 

Anyone recommend some ideas for better isolation for this kind of setup?

I had to look up Sorbothane on the net. I've never heard of it before. It could be marketed in Aust. under a different product name.

That’s odd. Sorbothane has been part of the audiophile vocabulary for what, gotta be 30 years. Has Aussie land been cut off from communications?  😀 In my opinion Sorbothane is probably best relegated to its original intended use as shoe insoles.

That’s not a bad idea. Gelatin. As in Jell-O. Of course, you have to work out the engineering details. Speaking of Jell-O, of the major food groups Spam seems to offer the best of all possible worlds when employed as a damper. Not too hard, not too soft. And if it doesn’t work out in your system you can make sandwiches out of it.
