turntable isolation feet


Which isolation feet work better? Rubber, metal cone, ...?
Does it depend upon turntable styles -- belt drive, direct drive, idler wheel?

I've found many isolation feet made of rubber or metal under $20 in eBay. What would be your best pick for turntable isolation feet for under $50?

Thanks in advance.

You don't mention what turntable you have. I have a VPI, which was greatly helped with the addition of Bearpaws...Vermontaudio.com
I would save money to eventually buy Stillpoints Ultra SS feet. You only need 3.
A turntable is a complex system and any vibration can affect the sound. I also found that VPIs were improved by adding brass cones; I used a different brand but would expect to get a similar result from the Bearpaws. Any table will be affected by external vibrations whatever the drive mechanism but there are differences. A massive table like the Aries Extended worked very well on a very heavy Star Sound rack but the LP 12 works better on a very lightweight torlite stand.
As mentioned above, you didn't name the TT you have. But I use Aurios under my LP12 and they work fine. Before I had an rega P25 and used AQ Feet.
I also use Herbie's tall Tenderfeet under my Linn, which is a suspension TT. No more footfall and the sonic benefits are tighter bass and a more open sound.
