The isolators that I have, and the ones that I have seen most often,
are made (were made?) by Audio Technica.  I don't know if even the best
isolation feet are going to solve your problems, however.

A better solution is probably to mount a heavy, well-built shelf on the
wall, and place your table there.  The floor vibrations will be
strongly attenuated by this technique, and isolation feet will then
have a fighting chance.  The shelf better be very rigidly attached to
the wall, using braces and mounted on the studs, or you'll be trading
one problem for another.
