Why spend more than $25 per piece of equipment on vibration reduction?


Do products more expensive than Vibrapods ($24 per set of four) provide superior isolation? I've been pretty happy with the pods, but I wonder whether spending somewhat more, e.g., on Iso-pucks, would bring notably superior results. Or is more a matter of visual, as opposed to audible, aesthetics?

Yes, real hockey pucks are under most components, all of which sit on a concrete foundation (as those on suspended floors may find more suspension/spring elements work better than they did for me).  Lighter components (turntable, phono stage) also have a sponge puck under the real puck, which, in my experience, did quiet the background, offering a more "solid" sound. . . 

For Dave and Troy, what do you mean by "not that effective ..."? Is technical data available on the relative vibration reduction capabilities of different isolation products? If you could point me in that direction, I'd love to look at the information.

Thanks.

Spend big bucks get CRITICAL MASS M2 1 1/2 inch feet ASAP for a BIG improvement in sound.Im using them on my entire system.
