What's the best isolation system?

Let's hear your ideas on isolation. I'm hoping this will be a survey of systems featuring the different cone products including Mapleshade Triplepoints and heavy hats, Audiopoints various sizes and their footers, Black Diamond, DB Systems etc; through products like Vibrapod and the sorbathane gel feet,include the bearing type products like Aurios, and how you implemeneted or combined systems for the best sound.

If anyone has tried the Van Slyke Engineering Tri Orbs that have been heavily advertised I'd like to know also.

For instance I'm now using a hybrid Vibrapod sandwich which includes a set of Vibrapods (tumed for each component) a quarter inch piece of plate glass, and then Audiopoint or Mapleshade cones (I'm trying to decide between the two.) I have arrived at this combo by a couple of years of listening in a friends and my system by carefully substituting one product at a time.

Hope to hear from you all.

I wonder if Chellingworth has the symposium devices mixed up with the Sistrum racks. I wonder if he has ever heard the Sistrum rack. If he has maybe he didn't follow the directions in set up. This is a product that will show what your components are made of. Sistrum along with the Neuance, IMO are as important as any of your audio gear. To fully realize what your gear is capable of, these products are a must. Subaruguru, Theaudiotweak, and myself have done a lot of homework on these kind of isolation products.
No need to take any of my opinions as fact. And please do not take anything that Chellinworth has said as fact. I believe that both Sistrum and Neuance offer a 30 day trial.I think you will find that this could be one of your best upgrades you have made in your quest for audio realizm.
Ya got nothing to lose. If you don't like it just send it back. I mean no offence to you Mr. Chellinworth. As the song goes " It's just you and me and we just disagree"
