Scottmac62, I cannot generalize at all, but my amp is on a glass Mana shelf on a StillPoints component stand. Until I got my MIGs, the amp had just been on the StillPoints stand. It took me a long time to decide that the pin-point pattern with the MIGs was better. This is with all other components with ambient pattern. Once the MIGs settled in and I had adjusted the H-Cat WTC to +8, I had an excellent, precise soundstage, deep bass, and accurate timbre for all instruments.
Personally, I don't like soft isolation materials. I certainly have heard very hard metal points glare and be very hard and brass ones sound very smeared and and lacking in dynamics.
All that I recommend is trial and error.
