DIY speaker isolation base for a wood floor

A definite sonic improvement in tightening up the bass. 
1. Start with 4 aluminum cones. I used some old Mod Squad Tip Toes.
2. 16x16 slab of granite.
3. 1/8 cork.
4. 1/2 inch neoprene rubber.
5. 1/8 cork.
6. Top with another 16x16 slab of granite.
7. Enclosed with a wood cradle to hide the mechanism.
  The granite is from scraps from a shop and was cheap. The added 1/4 inch of neoprene to 1/2 inch thickness did help. Let me hear your thoughts.

Utterly predictable responses from gk.

Moving on. The RMAF 2018 Isoacoustics demo is very impressive, and the difference is clearly audible even with youtube "fidelity" and computer speakers. Still, I am just a tiny bit suspicious. The nature of the "improvement" that I hear could also be achieved by nudging up the volume control a tad.

@blueranger   No, you got it wrong.  It's the speaker cables that you're supposed to suspend from the ceiling with monofilament.

Isolation doesn’t sound anything like nudging up the volume a bit. So you think It’s a giant conspiracy designed to suck the money out of naive and gullible audiophiles? You and Ethan Winer. I bet you didn’t predict I would say that.
