Isolation Devices


The question is: do you defeat the function of isolation devices if you put felt pads under themto protect the floors and make the speakers easier to move?. Will this  insulator pad stop the function of the isolation device?

Thanks for any feedback.

Yes, felt wouldn’t defeat the function of any isolation device.

It might, depending upon its thickness, initially alter the base resonant frequency of the supported device, but should soon enough be crushed flat enough to make no difference for most devices.

Spring suspended turntables are a different matter entirely.
