Isoaltion why so many options? Confusing


With so many tweak options what works best, I have heard so many variables to brass isolation of components, maple, etc etc etc. Doing some research I have found some cheap solutions to isolating my components (Maple) for my speakers. Brass spikes for my speakers now I am looking into glass

Here are a couple of cost effective approach that I have found during my research:

Ebay maple item #120092997874
Ebay brass isolation cones #280090083911

I have even found glass isolation spikes, nice and fat and aluminum but I dont know much about glass and aluminum qualities to isolate components, any experience or knowledge of these products???? I would really like to know! With so many options what really works best? Is it an opinion base subject or a scientific approach to isolation of your components? Does spending more money really means your getting the best or "we" are just making unwise decisions? I consdier myself a blue collar worker, working for the City of Chicago as a Firefighter doesnt mean that I am rich but I do have to take a conservative approach to making my music sound best with the lowest cost as possible, not being CHEAP just conservative on how I spend my hard earned money.

Just looking for honest advise on tweaks, especially isolation of components. Thanks to all in advance

Chgolatin2,

You said you hope God will take you to heaven. He will if you repent and trust. The good deeds you do as a fireman are sooo kind but that wont help.

Anyway, sounds like your going to be pulling your hair out with this tweak thing now! I think maple slabs as an isolation plateform is a great economical way to go. Organic sounding.

If I where to do it all over again I would use many various products that that Cable company loans out. That way you can see what many do in your system and give you a good education process.

Remember, have fun doing it!
