For may turtable I built a box out of MDFD and then filled it with sand. I then placed it on four Sorbothane feet that I had but could just as easily have used squares cut out of sheets. To get a thicker pad you can just use more squares stacked on top of each other. You can get them online from many places. Like any rubber material you should use something to keep it off finished wood to prevent staining.
Tom, I like your approach, and I looked at the Sorbothane web site: interesting information there. I can see getting the Sorbothane hemispheres and putting them under a sand box.
My turntable has a separate motor box - I should experiment with isolating the motor box from the turntable, which would both be on the sand box. Interested to know if there is noticeable transmission from the motor to the tonearm through the plinth.
