Isolation suggestions for amplifer

Tbg is absolutely right. There is no consensus...even within many of our own
systems.

I've used: Audiopoints, Sistrum stands, Rollerblocks, Aurios, sorbothane,
maple blocks, Neuance platforms, Boston Audio TuneBlocs, Maple Shade
brass cones and Grand Prix Audio Apex footers.

At every point along the way, I thought I had found "the best" (for
me).

The most recent ear opener has been the Grand Prix Audio Apex footers,
which were introduced to me by Steve McCormack. I didn't want to believe
they'd be effective, but effective they are...in my opinion...in my system...

Is it possible to isolate from airborne vibration? Seems like you would have to drain that somehow. This reminds me of a really old thread....the isolationist versus the drainers. I just use a solid spiked stand with 2" Maple Blocks beneath each piece and Herbie tube dampers and hope for the best. The system sounds pretty good.

I think the best isolation from airborne vibration is to pour concrete over the amplifier. This can, however, create some maintenance issues.

I am currently experimenting with an airborne isolation system involving helium-filled balloons tied to each of the 4 corners of the amplifier. At the moment, I'm having a problem with the cat, who likes to ride on it (because it's warm), and has figured out that by manipulating the balloons, she can guide it around the living room. Guests find this disconcerting. I guess I will have to try shorter interconnects.

You too?

Uh-oh, sounds like a race to the patent office is taking shape...
