Best T/T Pods/ wood blocks to eliminate vibrations

My table is 3 feet from the right speaker. When the tonearm is in play, knocking on the table plinth or dust cover creates an amplified thumping sound. The table is a Rega P3-24 and has THREE rubber cone feet that are not removable (There are two in the front and one support in the middle at the back of the T/T. The table sounds good, but I know that feedback is degrading the sound. Need recommendations for either footers, pods, points, or blocks to eliminate that thumping sound. BTW, I can not use a wall shelf because the walls are concrete, and also cannot be drilled

I have this Table, And It would do a world of good if you had a rack with a shelf on points, then make sure your table is LEVEL check this by putting a horizontal level on the plinth then on the platter too. SO,the iso feet you choose should be all the same exact height and not to soft.Some small pucks or disks.look for something like that. And I cant stress enough to have the table on a rack with points on the floor and a shelf with points also. Heck with my rack and shelf I don't even use iso under the table.But if I did ,I would use something like i described.

I know this is kind of an old post but just wanted to let you know I have had an issue with rumble from my subwoofer and Planar 3 table when I turn the volume up loud. It was mainly due to the placement of table. I was getting this terrible feedback loop. I ended up using Sorbathane 2.5 inch half spheres under the feet. I placed them flat side down on the shelf and round side under the feet. This completely eliminated the feedback issue. I can beat on the shelf right next to the table with my fist and hear nothing from the table.
