What is the latest greatest word in isolation footers for amps? stands?

huge thanks for all the eXP with footers, platdforms and iso gizmos. it is much appreciated. believe it.

i’ve used with good to great success items from Herbies and Vibra pods and cones in past instances.

the spring dealies are new to me. not totally sold on them.

as for the NOB thingys… could someone put the direcdt link to what you feel will work in my scenario? I’m a bit lost in finding what I think is the right move/item.

@lowrider57
I had thought only to use/access the four designated drilled and threaded inserts to which I would screw in some sort of cone or spike like one sees on so many amp stands or racks.

Talking to Zanden rep Eric I was told Zanden spent a lot of time addressing isolation and noise pollution from interior and exterior forces and got the impression only dealing with the platform base itself was my current concern. given I’ve already got better than half a dime in the wood alone.

in fact Eric mentioned the maker of Zanden products also has optioned their own sort of ‘vibrapods’ to place beneath their amps. $35 ea.

sheeeesh.

guess I should be counting my lucky stars I chose not to do mono blocks.

… yet lol

Actually the Critical Mass footers are the best I have tried under amps and Dac's etc.

Townshend podiums Vs CM2.

 

Any thoughts on what’s the difference in performance between these two?

I suggest you use Black Ravioli Footers directly under the amp and put the wood plan on the floor. It is important to drain vibrations from the amplifier’s enclosure.,If you want to go over the top use Gaia or Stillpoints footers under the plank

@glory I do not know the CM2's, but I own the Townshend podiums, Oreas, Gaia, Credo, Herbies and Nobsound.

When I listened to the Townshend podium and Credo I could not believe the sound impact which I will stay away from describing because it is objective; so talked to a friend that is a sound physicist PhD and asked how to best measure the impact. To make the story short I ended with a few instruments from his lab and we measured all of them, not only for isolation, but for decay. Nothing comes close to the Townshend podiums and Credos.

I posted some numbers in another Townshend podium vs Orea thread.

I have no reason to be fan of one over the other, I own all of them but I ended replacing everything with Townshend products, except for 2 Credo platforms that came with their speakers.
