Isolation Devices: Any Good Ones?


I'm considering some Isolation devices to place under my Esoteric X-05 CD player. I have actualy tried Stillpoins Ultra SS ($675 for 3) and they did make a difference. I'm interested to hear from those of you who have tried others like Wave Kinetics ($700 for 4), KWO Super Heated Metal Foam Pedestals ($415 for 3), Nordost Sort Kones ($260 for 4) or any others that markedly helped vibration control. Thanks!

I use fish bowls filled with liquid mercury. It takes a while to break in but when it does you loose all sense of connection with anything at all related to the transmission of musical harmony.

Sounds like a killer acid trip, I'll have to try that out!
Here is an AA thread about how people have used sand boxes very effectively in their systems:

If you have no experience here you have no idea. There are folks who are laughing at the HiDiamond laugh-in. There are folks who laughed at the Synergistic Research laugh-in that ended a long time ago. Some are still laughing alone by themselves in the corner when everyone else left the party to get their rest. Same for the Bybee laugh-in. Same for the Shakti laugh-in. Same old boring same old.
Theaudiotweak,
You must be highly toxic from breathing mercury vapor. Sand is non-toxic.
For a far greater positive effect on vibration control please consider the Synergistic Research Tranquility Base.
Under my Marantz SA11-S1 SACD player I have experenced an impressive improvement. The base combines isolation control, decreasing emf-rf noise, and improving the ground plane. The effect on sound is a wonderful combination of increased detail, improved black background, and no listener fatigue.
