Anti-Vibration pads: which component most?

On which component will anti-vibration pads have the greatest impact? System is Apple TV into Arcam Dac via optical, then to preamp, then amp, then speakers. I want to try anti-vibration pads on ONE of these elements to see if I hear an improvement. Where in the signal chain will they have the most impact? I'm thinking either the DAC or speakers. Thanks.

what pads? Usually I'd start at the source or a tube pre amp (if that's what you have)

Source then pre-amp. I am guessing your amp and speakers are probably well isolated due to their weight and positioning within your system.

Make sure you have your signal and power cables up off the floor and separated as well. As usual YMMV.

I am not familiar with those..there are lots on the market...I"ve tried Symposium Fat Padz before...easily can hear. I suspect once you start, you'll be buying more ;-)

The moment I put them under my pre amp Jolida 5t, I noticed an immediate improvement.
