Isolation Devices: Any Good Ones?


I'm considering some Isolation devices to place under my Esoteric X-05 CD player. I have actualy tried Stillpoins Ultra SS ($675 for 3) and they did make a difference. I'm interested to hear from those of you who have tried others like Wave Kinetics ($700 for 4), KWO Super Heated Metal Foam Pedestals ($415 for 3), Nordost Sort Kones ($260 for 4) or any others that markedly helped vibration control. Thanks!

hi 
i have just experienced the biggest sound improvement ever to my system, i have been looking into isolation for ages and i also started a discussion, i have found by a country mile that isolating my loudspeakers with townshend audio seismic podiums was incredible  over the years i have tried various isolation ideas under my equipment but after isolating my loudspeakers i believe this is the very best place to start, if you contact your stillpoint dealer he will advise the same, if you got good results with stillpoints and can afford the stillpoint route go for it , if you have a townshend audio dealer near you get in touch and ask to audition the seismic podiums, they are a must have product in the uk and there is a uk dealer i know that ships to the usa at very nice prices i am not financially involved i was so impressed by the service i got and the performance made me gob smacked i think you will be amazed with the improvements i was and so are many other uk reviewers and audiophiles, i liked stillpoints ultra ss under my electronics but isolating my loudspeakers was the biggest upgrade in performance i have ever experienced, im 50 and been buying since i was a young teenager, good luck i dont believe your go wrong with stillpoints they mainly  get amazing reviews but very costly i didnt buy and im so glad i didnt
