Building my own rack / shelf decoupling and isolation

It’s all very well explained in the original thread @anon77199223 linked to above, here’s another link

Vibration Isolation / Support for Glass

I can’t accommodate a Brain / Brawn stack arrangement so the system has to cope with the vibrational harmonics of the transformers transmitted from lower on the rack. So, how to mechanically isolate the ‘Brain’ components. First: rule out solutions based on damping, such as sorbathane. Second: rule out spring systems as; 1, they’re more difficult to design and build; 2 some of the boxed have vary asymmetric weight distributions. So, think about using the properties of systems based on dissim…
