Anybody still using soft rubber isolation devices?

Not all soft rubbery materials are alike. The viscoelastic soft rubbery materials can work very well in constrained layer damping applications, the rest of them probably do more harm than good. When in doubt decouple. One advantage I can think of for rubber footers is they won't scratch the floor. 😀

you realize this thread is 11 yrs old.?

The more things change the more they stay the same. 😬

@addyson815  Your point being?  I do believe the issue of whether to couple or decouple, whether to drain energy from components or absorb vibrations are still very relevant and will remain so until levitation technology is perfected.😉

+1 for Herbie's Tenderfoot and other products like Hush Puckies.
