Jim,
Diyuma, good name! I am sure it is possible to do DIY versions of these, especially if you have a metal lathe you can replicate them. There are other interesting variants too. An easy one should be to make a box of thin tree board and fill it with sand (2 inches high), like the Bright Star products.

I see the Vibrapods under your speaker, and also that you have Atacama stands as me, although another model. I have now got an instant gratification by the Darumas, this will last for a while and I will accomodate me to the sound before experementing with speakers. Also, I have no appropiate soft shoes at the moment. A Revel M20 weights more than 30 pounds and is too heavy for those I have.
There is also another alternative, to do the spiking correctly. I now have cups that protects the floor, a slightly soft surface with a fiber board and a carpet over the concrete ground. When I have determined the best speaker position, I might drive the spikes through the carpet so they stand directly on the concrete ground.
Tree floors may also cause problems if they are not rigid enough and without close contact to the concrete layer.
I have a question to. You have tested many floating vibration dampers. The Daruma is a big step over nothing. How big is the step between Daruma and the more expensive Aurios and Rollerblocks?
