Anybody still using soft rubber isolation devices?

I still have Navcom Silencers, Mod Squad Soft Shoes, and Vibrapods. I use them occasionally, usually in combination with the brass cones. My rack and speakers sit on brass cones. Sometimes I'll place the SRID's between a component and shelf. I can't say that they dramatically improve performance, but I own them, and they are not worth selling on AudiogoN, AND they will not scratch the equipment that I set on them like some brass cones can.

I like to think that even though I have the latest Audio Points cones and stuff, I can still kick it old school!

Happy Holidays!!

John :)

I've gone from Sobothane to brass cones to (finally) Myrtle wood blocks (with a thin layer of Sorbothane on the bottom between the block and the shelf). All under the amp.

I use Herbie's Iso-Cups under my tubed poweramps and Tenderfeet (is 'TenderFoots' the plural of the brandname 'TenderFoot'?) under my CDPs and preamp. They sound plenty fine to me, but I'm no GEA who hears (or thinks he hears) all sorts of subtle differences. I judge these things in the long term and remove them if I think their presence is decreasing sound quality. My equipment rack is high-mass, with 2" maple shelves and 1"-diameter verticals, and is spiked to the concrete floor. See it in my System .

Nate,

Don't doubt yourself. Remember the benefit when you went to the AudioPoints, and then to the Sistrum stand.
