Yup i've had carpets up and screwed down floorboards extra tight, or had slate floors, or made slate plinths for speakers, silicone blobs on head shells, egg boxes, sand, glass sandwiches (not to eat) blu tack in CD player lids.......i've heard a square of roof felt (pitch) on the inside of a CD case works well....without gravel....think you can get on ebat as dampening pads .
I like wood stands, heavy but natural so stuff is held firm but breaths as Ferrus says.
One thing to always remenber though, some recordings are just poor, if your lucky you can build a system that will do justice to poor recordings and still open up good recordings enough to enjoys all the bells and wistles that hi fi can bring, but quite often if you have a system that excels with fine recordings, it will proberly show all or part of a bad recording quite obviously. I'd say compromise or get 2 systems, one for good recordings and one for poor.
