Preamp Isolation Cones Without Going NUTS


What has been the experience of 'Gonners regarding the best EFFECTIVE vibrational/isolation, cone/footer combination product for use under tube preamps that doesn't cost a fourth the price of the components? Not platforms, but cones, points, tip toes, whatever. Say $100 or so TOPS for a SET.

Sorry for throwing around definitions so loosely. I do think most will have caught my drift, therefore I rather look at such semantics as bit of nit picking. Let's say vibration control?

The Audiopoints are fairly reasonable in price, I will concede, though I have not cared for them under my phono stage. The Sistrum products, while deservedly highly lauded, are my definition of going NUTS (from a price standpoint).
DH Labs 'Jumbo' cones at $70/set are the finest cone footer I've yet encountered.Unlike most cones devices(including their flagship 'Super'), the DH Jumbo's don't muck up pace and flow.(The DH large isn't bad either tho not as effective)
Black Diamond cones are perhaps one of my least favored cone footers with a pervasive plasticy signature- not surprising since they are made of bakelite.
i agree with remarks about DH Cones (from Golden Sound); I use the Super size cones in addition to Jumbo and Large sizes; extreme hardness of NASA ceramic material (next highest to diamond - hence DH (diamond hardness) - yields lightning-fast (mechanical) energy transfer.
4yanx, in my system I prefer the Soler points and pucks to all others I have tried. That includes BDR's with pucks, Mapleshade Triplepoints, Tone cones and others. And it is superior to all sorbothane or rubber based products. IMHO YMMV. Happy Listening! John
