Different devices have different characteristics, so I recommend that you buy several different ones and experiment with combinations. Definitely put your speakers on stands or cones. After much trial and error, I have ended up with an air platform under my preamp, a sandbox under my turntable, brass cones under my cd player and amp, and vibrapods under my power supplies. In my HT, the DVD is on cones and an air platform. But a different combination might suit you and your gear better. You also don't need to spend a ton on it, so it can be a great value tweak.
Vibration Tweaks
What vibration isolators for individual components are the most effective? I recently touched each piece of equipment with the volume at an intermediate level and was surprised at the amount of vibration caused by the speakers. Would speaker stands be the first place to start? I have them (B&W 802 matrix) standing on hardwood floors with felt pads so I can slide them when necessary.
