Which Herbie's Product is Best?

Herbie's has several products which are targeted at isolation from vibrations. In your experience, what works better, the Tenderfeet or the Isocups with balls? Which of the balls do you recommend most? How do they compare to brass cones?

Tenderfeet under my CDP and Iso-Cups w/ the previously available Ruby balls (3) under my integrated amp and Big Dots under my speakers. Steve has to steer me wrong with isolation recomendations. I also have used the Excellent Mat on an LP12 with outstanding results.

I use Iso cup/balls. I also believe in using 3 but on my 55 pound CDP I didn't have confidence that something bad might happen so I went for 4 for added stability. Tendefeet were too bright/brash in the HF on my CDP.

I just installed Herbie's Audio Lab Iso-cups with Lampblack Balls with the new decoupling base upgrade. Using 3 of these under the CDP, Integrated Amp and Power Regenerator. Immediately noticed a deeper and wider soundstage, bigger 3D images, increased dynamics, smoother and more liquid midrange, focus and transparency improved. Cleaned up parts I didn’t know that could be improved. This inexpensive tweak was well worth its price.
