I have experimented with a few isolation solutions.
My first were squash balls. Cut in half and placed under equipment.
Next I moved to sorbothane. Had been using shoe inserts to combat ankle and achilles issues for years, so knew of its ability.
Built my own rack on an idea from TNT.
This was with my old Plinius pre/power amp from 1986.
Plenty of upgrades since, as well as vibrapods under equipment.
Was also a little sceptical tbh of how effective more expensive solutions would be placed under different metal boxes (housing electronic equipment). I didn’t get it, and didn’t research into why.
Last year bought Black Ravioli Pads. They had been recommended.
Had made many changes with Dac, power cables, interconnects, speakers, grounding box, and tweaks. System was sounding good.
My notes at the time of putting in the pads:
Put the Black Ravioli Pads on last week.
A set of 4 each for heavily modded Dac and Dac power supply.
A set of 4 with Vibropods and cones underneath the Perreaux amp.
It has bought all the changes I’ve made, together.
Synergy, I’d call it.
Really enjoying the music.
Seems that was what I was missing.
My cynicism has disappeared. BR Pads work.
Although pricey, they are well worth it; an investment.
