Basic anti vibration? Cones vs pods? Is there "good enough solution"?


New to this part of high end audio. Cones (stability) vs "cushioning" (e.g. pods) Different schools of thought? Do most people use combinations of both? Trying to understand (if possible).

I’ve read recent threads but don’t have the energy to test zillions of combinations. Is there no "this will probably be pretty good?" e.g. I did online research and upgraded to prima luna tube preamp and parasound amp which are good enough for my purposes (at least now).  Also 100 lbs floor standing speakers.

e.g. rack with shelves made of granite "bonded to a 3/4 inch thick anti-resonant substrate"

A good enough solution for me was Herbies sliders under my Proac d15's. No adverse effect and you can easily move your speakers around. I've had vibrapods but they seem to work better on amps, etc vs. speakers. Always wanted to try more advanced footers but cost was an issue. I'm now looking to change to Proac D2's and stands - not sure what isolation will be necessary for stands.
