Sims Navcom Isolation Pucks vs. SQ Isol-Pads

Sbleam,sims silencers are made of navcom not sorbothane,where are you getting your information?(a rhetorical ?)If you can get the silencers made of navcom then go for it.

Lifeengineer,
First I want to make sure we both mean the sameting with the Sims Navcom Isolation Pucks (photo http://cgim.audiogon.com/i/vs/i/f/1287076330.jpg )
From doing various searches around the net I found articles that described the pucks as a sorbathane puck with a metal band (some recommended removing the band to allow the material to flex). In either case --- the important question is this -- have you used them and how do you compare to the isolation pads?

Thanks for your feedback?

Sbleam,last time,sims silencers are made of NAVCOM not sorbothane.I have in my hand right now a brand new never opened package of sims silencers.They were distributed by sumiko and contains 4 pucks or as they say 4 audio isolators.It compares monstercable isotec and audioquest sorbothane vibration dampening coefficients with graphs etc. Navcom is the clear winner. If you found articles that said that navcom and sorbothane are the same thing, they are in error! As I have said earlier,if you can find some silencers at a reasonable price go for it.

Here's some info:

My experience is the pucks keep the bass tighter than sorbothane. It's been a while but I remember thinking they reduced vibration evenly across the spectrum much better than anything I compared them with (for the sound I was looking for)

Try SYMPOSIUM Roller Block JR HDSE better stage,bass,imaging and depth.
