What's the best isolation system?

Let's hear your ideas on isolation. I'm hoping this will be a survey of systems featuring the different cone products including Mapleshade Triplepoints and heavy hats, Audiopoints various sizes and their footers, Black Diamond, DB Systems etc; through products like Vibrapod and the sorbathane gel feet,include the bearing type products like Aurios, and how you implemeneted or combined systems for the best sound.

If anyone has tried the Van Slyke Engineering Tri Orbs that have been heavily advertised I'd like to know also.

For instance I'm now using a hybrid Vibrapod sandwich which includes a set of Vibrapods (tumed for each component) a quarter inch piece of plate glass, and then Audiopoint or Mapleshade cones (I'm trying to decide between the two.) I have arrived at this combo by a couple of years of listening in a friends and my system by carefully substituting one product at a time.

Hope to hear from you all.

>>>>>Pretty good salesmanship for someone who thinks isolation is impossible. 😬 Since before the end of the 29th century? Oh, please! Give me a break!

Took you nearly 2 months to fall on this thread. The 29th century would be 900 years from now . I can only see ahead 500 yrs. Slowing with age I suppose.. I hope not. Tom

Actually things are a little slow, I’m just pulling your chain. 🤗 My compliments on your shameless plug!

Yes life is a little ho hum these days and at the same time scary. 
Spending time tweaking the external power supply for my dac tower and implementing a new mechanical grounding scheme for my new Purifi 6.5 inch drivers that have the midrange clarity of a 4 in. and the bass of a very fine 10 in. driver. They are remarkable. Take good care Geoff. ...Tom
