vibration and resonance


I need to get rid of vibration and resonance in my homemade rack that is to "lively and rings like a bell". I was told to try DYNAMAT on the underside of the shelves. Would cork be the same or better? What is your experience? Thanks

If you have a dedicated listening room than get rid of the rack. I never liked them always felt that they are nothing more than an antenna for vibration and no matter how there built always seem flimsy. I would if you have an Ikea in your area buy lack tables for each piece of gear their light,ridget,and not bad looking in numorous colors.
Ikea in your area buy lack tables. there based on the torolyt stands that were built for linns during the late part of the 80s the principle was light yet very ridged structures are better at reducing unwanted vibration then massive solid struture. I think many have gotten away from this and have gone back to massive blocks of marble and slate are better controlling vibration?
