Isolation Devices: Any Good Ones?

This thread reminds me of many others where people were falling all over themselves LOL-ing in public about Synergistic Research products and Bybee products and some other unusual products they had never tried. Jack Bybee made a controversial comment about some of these folks -- and I could not agree more. In the end, Jack Bybee and Ted Denney and a few other makers definitely had the last laugh.

Davidpritchard,
Thanks for your impressions. I have been looking at them but have not heard from anyone who has actually used them -- before your comments.

The laugh is the playing with materials that only lead to a dead end. Nothing reactive or geometrically conductive in a bag of sand or a box of lead. These materials have a high saturation point but also have a very slow time release of that same energy. They cause much coloration to the device to which they are applied . Nothing musically pleasing about these materials. Tom

Tom, you are correct, sir. And they seem like SUCH a good idea.

Sabai,
I have used the Tranquility Bases since June 1. A quite remarkable product. Excellent results under all 4 components I have now used them with- Marantz SA11-S1 SACD player, Marantz SA11-S2 SACD player, Art Audio PX-25 tube amp, and Eddy Current- Zana Deux OTL tube amp. The Marantz SA11-S1 had a significant improvement even though the player was heavily modded-upgraded. I find it interesting that both tube amps improved and that one amp has output transformers and the other amp does not use transformers. Next I hope to move my speaker crossover networks out of the cabinets and try the Tranquility Bases under the networks.
