If you try springs, put some very lightly stuffed foam in the middle. This will frictionally damp out resonances as the springs move.
That's the way the old record changers in the hifi consoles of my yout' were 'suspended'! :)

You can see them in this under-deck photo (from teh webz) of a VM record changer.
I remember this vividly (my father used to service hifi as well as TVs) but didn't realize the purpose of the foam at the time)!
