component cones/spikes vs. rubber


I'm trying to decide whether I should put cones/spikes or Vibrapads/pods underneath my woodshelving which is directly underneath my components?

(Note: I currently have wood shelves underneath my components so the spikes/pads will be placed in a platform config. All of the above will be sitting on an audio rack)

Components:
1. Cary CD player
2. Audible Illusions 3A pre-amp
3. BAT 75SE tube amp

Appreciate any comments/thoughts?

Thanks,
broken

You will receive divergent recommendations with no consensus.

I suggest you buy cones/spikes and Vibrapods (or a similar decoupling device...perhaps one of Herbie's products) that can be auditioned in your system with a 30 day home trial, and listen for yourself.

There are many devices that can be purchased with 30 day return policies (AudioPoints, Herbie's products, SR Research MiG footers among them).
