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
If you want to find Bearpaws, go to edensoundaudio.com. The Vermontaudio site has been decommissioned. You can get similar items from Mapleshade.

Still, for my money I'll take Vibrapod Cones and Isolators.

I'll give a try to viropods. I had used a bike tire once. With an inch thick wood chopping board. I will also try it and see if there's any difference.

Thx

When I upgraded my butcher block from a 1-1/2" "hardwood" board to the 3-1/2" thick norther maple board I use today (with the Vibrapods and cones), I got a noticeable improvement that even my wife could hear right away.
