Bradz:
Email me off-line, and I will forward you some further information on the IsoBaseK: white paper and such. Both Bigkidz and Rcprince have had success with these units.
Regarding the several suggestions of Herbie's dampers,I am in complete agreement. Just started using them recently myself. Nice product.
Regarding bases with sand; I have not tried this myself so I cannot comment. I do know that I have seen some very well done DIY racks that employed this approach with good success. If you are interested, email me with your address and I will forward info (I think I kept it).
Regading Hebie's feet, I know that Rx8man is getting ready to try some variations of this product. Hopefully he will chime in with his observations.
My recent experience with tubes has been to have seen the eye opening differences (in my system, etc) that good isolation can make. Yes, I believe in tube dampers, but dampers alone (for me) don't come close to what isolation can do for some (not all) tubes. This recent experience has been with the 12AU7 family, but my guess is that the same rules apply to most tube families and the variations in manufacturing.
