Which cone's or platforms have helped?


I am curious which Cones or platforms you guys are using on your equipment that have given the best performance? Which products have you tested head to head? Which products were a big disapointment? I am currently looking at the mapleshade cones. I am already using a large maple base like they recommend. I am posting this under digital because I have been told that it can make the biggest difference on CD players.

Neuance shelf is a must!
Orchard Bay are second, EAR footers third.
Aurio's Pro, new found love.
Tom nice - what are Neuance shelves made from? I did a search and can't find any info on them.
My preference has been for brass or those ceramic like foot sanding stones. I prefer a cleaner sound. Sorbothane seemed to muddy up the sound which I did not like.
The interesting thing I found out about Vibrapods is to not necessarily use their recommended weight ranges for each model pod. There are so many other factors in the mix.

My transport is on the light end of the range recommended for using #2 Vibrapods. In other words I could almost use #1 pods based on their information. All I had were #3 pods, so I used them temporarily. I notice a bid improvement. I later picked up some #2. Expecting even more improvement, I was shocked that using the #2 pods sounded worse; actually no better then not using Vibrapods at all. So the #3s are still there.

So I can see why some would not think Vibrapods work well. Following the directions may prove fatal.
Sugarbrie what you said...
I've been aware of this too, & found that the Vibrapods need to be loaded basically at the midpoint of their weight range. Just requires some simple math to calculate where you're at. It's like the springs on a vehicle; too little weight-loading & you're bumping all over the place, too much loading & you're always bottoming out. At midpoint, you have some "spring" in both directions.
YMMV
I have used several highly regarded isolation devices. Vibraplane, Black Diamond Racing, Walker Cones, Aurios and Townshend Seismic Sinks to name a
few. In my system the Tri-Orb Lite reference grade isolation devices
provided hands the ultimate in vibration control.
