Wood blocks underneath components?? snake oil?

Hello Newbee..Nice to see you here all these years..The following statement is intended to mean no harm only to invoke thought not verbal pain..There is no such thing as isolation because everything is always in movement. Tom

Rotarius,

Fair warning! Nasty wars have already been fought in this forum about the efficacy of the devises which are purported to drain vibrations from audio equipment. Been there, done that. When it was all over there was no agreement about anything, just a lot of PO'd folks. :-)

Oh crap! We don't need more PO'd folks. Our hobby is all about perception anyway. Just thought some of you might be interested in how it's done in the *real* world :)

I own some Teak blocks I cut from cheese trays (Local Goodwill type store stuff.. just be certain it is real Teak!)
I have 'Tiptoes" (original ones)
I have Size 10 chemical bottle stoppers (rubber)
Over the years I have used them all in varied combinations.
My current champion footers are the size ten bottle stoppers. I have dozens... all over the place.

Rotarius...

Thanks for explaining...makes sense.

I use an Oracle TT that would fit into the spring model, I generally place it on a black diamond source shelf and cones "found the sound more to my liking, than just on the stand".
Could I trouble you for the names of some catalogs you refer to?
Might be an interesting source for a little experimentation or DIY "bastardization" isolation platform.

Hi Tom, I agree with your thought. As the world turns so to speak, so do we. And we go 'round in circles, a wheel within a wheel. Perhaps if we could design a platform supported by magnetic forces in opposition might might we then have the perfect isolation devise. Oh well we can dream on and fiddle around. Its fun if we keep it that.
