Component isolation


Let’s say you’re going to add isolation feet to a component with no moving parts, such as a preamp, phono stage, DAC, amp, tuner, etc. 

Which one is most critical to the extent would get your attention first?

Hi all,

This issue of vibration resolution and the science behind it can get overwhelming and out of proportion with the cost of mitigating it in my opinion. I certainly may be naive in this regard but I have used a cork mat on my turntable, the little cork or cork-like inserts in Shunyata steel feet boxes for small devices, and even wine bottle corks that I have cut in half length-wise to use under components. More recently I have also used Vibrapods. At only $24 for a pack of 4 Vibrapods, I think it has hard to go very wrong. At best, I have solved any vibration issues I may have and can perceive. At worst, it’s a good start and not expensive. Leaving to ask what would be the incremental benefit of my expensive vibration resolution solutions.
