Do isolation devices really help?


I am curious about your thoughts on isolation devices--cones, pads, etc.. Do they really help? I can maybe understand how they may help with a CD player because you have a rotating disc moving picking up signals. But for solid state equipment like the preamp and amp I really don't understand what they would contribute for improving sound quality. I'm thinking about cones, etc for my CD transport. Any advice and comments about effect on other components?

I highly recommend Lloyd Walkers'Valid Pts,They have made a significant improvement in my "mostly"solid-state system.If you are interested in trying them,I can get you a discount and 30 day money back guarantee ,Happy tuning! Tom
I believe that the Systrum is distributed by Star Sound and is designed by a former Essence Audio employee.A manufacturer/distributor advised these under my table.I insisted on Walker Points.I had to contact him to determine the cause of his delay.He said "he was amazed at the sound of his product/change that the Points made.
Generally a "soft" foot will warm up the sound,at the expense of top and bottom end extension."Hard" usually tightens things up-beware of metallurgy and termination of said device.Improper termination can lead to ringing/brightness.
