Best material for isolation purposes

What's the best material, either metal cones or sorbathane cups, or what ever, for use under a VTL preamp. All answers
appreciated. Mark.

I cut these with scissors to size for whatever component I am trying to isolate. I have them under all of my components except my amplifier. They work great! Happy listening, Tim

I use rollerblocks under my tube phono stage and under my tube amp. Ultra platform under my turntable, I plan to buy more of their products...very noticeable improvements. If you want to try something cheap, go to a kitchen store and buy a thick maple cutting board...I bet you'll hear a change.
