hi,
its good to see some familiar friends involved in discussion, i have found threw trial and error that there are some great isolation products out there that will enhance the performance of ones electronics, i believe there are so many choices that it is confusing which product to use. There is also budget so obviously we have not all got stacks of doe to spend.

when i started out many found solid products gave the best results, evolution of isolation has brought many new ideas, i have recently found using Seismic Podiums under my speakers gave the biggest upgrade in sound quality i have experienced,

I then decided this product could benefit my electronics as well by acoustically isolating my speakers ie no more floor vibrations, my rack is a very heavy Copulare with the heavier shelves with the 3 legs filled with sand, i have placed seismic bars type S under the 3 legs of the rack, so now my rack is acoustically isolated like my speakers,

I am now experimenting with second hand Finite elemente  cerapucs and the older volcano stillpoints, i have not had time to evaluate but with just the Seismic Isolation Products my system sounds incredible, i am always looking to further the performance of my system but budget is my limiting factor,

i believe everything everywhere all the time should be isolated and yes using the right products you will hear sound improvements, i believe i am on the right track now but there is just so many ways to skin the cat its taking a lot of audiophiles time and money to find the right ones that work for you,
after all its all about the music,

it would be so easy if there was one simple product that done it all, i am finding combinations work ie springs , solid objects and bearings, next up will be different materials used regarding solid and bearings the seismic isolation products are great on there own but all audiophiles are looking for the next level that Is what keeps and makes our hobby so magical, there is just to many products and different ideas, if i had to pick one i would go Townshend Audio Seismic Isolation Podiums they are a ground breaking product which will benefit your hole system and listening environment.

Come on, Mains. Are you pulling our legs?

"I have found threw trial and error"

"We have not all got stacks of doe"

"Benefit your hole system"

"great on there own"

"one product that done it all"



 

geoff 

you really need to try them, i have a room full of goodies from the stillpoints older volcano version, stillpoints componant stands 3 legs, clearlight audio RDC cones with multi base various sizes, exstasy props from china , final durama bearings, club wood disc from korea, 4 mpingo disc on your recommendation, finite elemente universal ceraball , seismic platforms, pods, symposium bearings in the cup with the + ball,

 i have been trying various isolation products for years, the best improvements i got by miles was the podiums under my speakers Sound lab dynastats, then the seismic corner bars type S under my 3 legs of my copulare, i have now put my cd player on top of the stillpoint componant stand with 6 dampers and the sound has taken another big step up in performance not as big as the podiums but not far off,

not one size fits all i am merely passing on my findings and i hope other audiophiles try what i have done and got the same results, 

i would personally isolate your loudspeakers first ie try the podiums they are sold discounted in the UK, then i recommend a solid rack with wooden shelves, then try the older stillpoints i find they are very detailed and musical when used with a stillpoint component stand,

yes geoff i have spent a lot on isolation, so to help save other audiophiles of doing the same thing i have merely pointed out my journey and what really stood out for me that worked, and yes the podiums are that good i recommend everyone should try them and the first generation stillpoints with componant stands for the money are great to regards john
