Their small VIB100's (see link below) might just do the job (around $100/piece if I'm not mistaken). All through solid science and engineering, no high-end audio hocus pocus and marketing BS but real world graphs showing isolation efficiency. No offense of course to anyone!

Besides passive solutions there's also more expensive active ones which provide even better performance, isolating up to 1 to 2Hz or even lower.
Their isolations platforms looks really nice.
Sometimes one think of the stuff one buy and all of the as you say hig-end hocus pocus going on and most of the time whitout any real connection to the real world. I mean how many cablecompanys put their measurments on their website?
If I count all of my stuff that is not amps, speakers or other electronics I have put down around 4500 Euros on cables, powerstrip, feets and other stuff that I needed for my fusepanel. For me that is a lot of money.
