Tried the disk dampers on each foot but they compress and stop working. The question is can I use tube dampers on my 6L6 power tubes, without any problems? EuroDampers offer large dampers that seem like they would stop the rattle from the speaker cab, opinions?

I had this issue a while back. As I recall it was my tubes rattling at high volumes, or at least I think that's what it was. It's in an old thread somewhere here, I might have to find it.
I bought black rubber furniture feet, what you put on the bottoms of couches and chairs to keep them from scratching the floor, and I stuck them on the rubber amp feet. Worked for me and has worked ever since. The entire project cost me about 3 bucks I think. Might be worth a try.
Update: I found the old thread. It's titled "fixed tube rattle for under $4". I used the magic sliders #77922, in a purple box.

Thanks, that's what I had on the bottom of my rubber feet however, they collapse and and you have to replace them again and again. Looking for something more permanent.

Ok, so here is the fix of all fixes! I took a Large 1/4" mouse pad and cut 8 - 3" square pieces out. I took contact cement and cemented the rubbers sides together so now I have 4 pads with cloth on the outside that are 1/2" thick. There is no vibration what so ever, I am talking full knob on the Master and volume! Done!
