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

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.

Springs Are the answer

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.

Where is the King of Springs @millercarbon ????

Great opp for him to sell some KYB Springs.

One possible answer: because there are more effective alternatives to Vibrapods. 

You will, however, have to experiment for yourself to discover what sounds good to you, in your system and whether the results are worth the asking price. 

I've tried Vibrapods, Original Stillpoints, New Stillpoints, brass cones, myrtlewood blocks, ceramic cones, no-name sorbathane pads and IsoAcoustic Oreas. They all affected the SQ in one way or another but I could not honestly claim they actually, in sum, "improved" the system. 

Then I tried what I currently use-- big difference-- tighter bass, deeper sound-stage and a sense of flow and ease that I'd never heard from the system. I see no point in mentioning the name because someone else would likely have tried the same products and found them ineffective. Yes; I do believe it's that subjective.
