Vibration Tweaks


What vibration isolators for individual components are the most effective? I recently touched each piece of equipment with the volume at an intermediate level and was surprised at the amount of vibration caused by the speakers. Would speaker stands be the first place to start? I have them (B&W 802 matrix) standing on hardwood floors with felt pads so I can slide them when necessary.

I have tried a bunch and hands down the ultimate vibration control is the Sounds of Silence Vibraplane. Pretty expensive, but a good deal when you hear what it can do.
I have tried them all, and highly recommend Aurios MIBs, or Brass triple points.
I also have tried many, and the Machina Dynamica Nimbus is the best I've found for turntables and CD players / transports.
Cones on everything. I wouldn't buy the Walker stuff. Too expensive. You can do as good, for significantly less. It's not a good idea top load anything. I know this is contrary to what many people think, but in the state of the art of resonance control theories; top loading will not do it. You want all those resonances to travel to the floor; not be absorbed. If only the bad resonances were absorbed that would be great, but it's not the case. There are plenty of good resonances that you want to hear. I can give you more information where to buy great cones.
