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!

Sabai,
I have used the Tranquility Bases since June 1. A quite remarkable product. Excellent results under all 4 components I have now used them with- Marantz SA11-S1 SACD player, Marantz SA11-S2 SACD player, Art Audio PX-25 tube amp, and Eddy Current- Zana Deux OTL tube amp. The Marantz SA11-S1 had a significant improvement even though the player was heavily modded-upgraded. I find it interesting that both tube amps improved and that one amp has output transformers and the other amp does not use transformers. Next I hope to move my speaker crossover networks out of the cabinets and try the Tranquility Bases under the networks.
Theaudiotweak,
The problem is that you are listening to my system with theoretical ears. You are not listening to my actual system.
Theaudiotweak,
It has also been proved scientifically that bees cannot fly. On the contrary. The result is very pleasing.
Hopefully you will see that you are listening to darkness in a near vacuum. Tom
Theaudiotweak,
You stated, "... materials that only lead to a dead end ...". It has also been proved scientifically that bees cannot fly. I'll take my dead-end system any day of the week over any other system I have ever heard. And I have heard some incredible systems over the years. If you were listening to my actual system instead of listening to my system with theoretical ears you would be able to make an informed judgment. Everyone who has listened to my system has found the sound stunning, including my audiophile friends.
