True about the stone floor.
My last place was a real ‘mare, even stopping the tonearm skipping, when skipping past.
Ok with not having it on Betamax nowadays

one place I lived just walking in the room would bounce the tonearm - from fifteen feet away. Ended up having to put the rack halfway up the stairs.Originally Posted by Gazjam

Speakers had to be placed on concrete slabs with plastic feet between the speaker and the slab and blu-tak between foot and speaker. Only then did they stop exciting the floor. Although they were big speakers (three 8 inch bass drivers) and of course we used to like it LOUD in those days...
When I bought a house, a concrete floor was a deal-breaker.

Wish I had a concrete floor again as I did in my last house. Now have to resort to huge mass to stop vibration.

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

If I had to do it again I would use sand trays.

Double win if you have a cat too?
The extra (brown) mass would help stop the speakers vibrating.

I used to fill my speaker stands with sand and convinced myself I could hear the difference when I altered the amount of sand in the stands. What a Knob.
All it did was make them either difficult or easy to move.

Been there, not just you!I used to fill my speaker stands with sand and convinced myself I could hear the difference when I altered the amount of sand in the stands. What a Knob.

Even tried audiophile 'silver sand' sold by my friendly snake oil dealer at the time,
Yeah thanks for that.
The sand stopped any ringing in the.metal stand, sure, but when you got to a point the Job was done.
But what under the speakers...the screw in wee spike and locking nut, or Blutak directly toothed top plate?
Kept me up at night that!
Sand in stands, blutak under the speakers...brings back memories that.
Target 22" stands and Mission 760i bookshelves, nice combo with the Pioneer A400 actually those wee boxes.
Ran those until one day I came home from work and found my 5yr old had poked the tweeters in!
