turntable isolation feet


Which isolation feet work better? Rubber, metal cone, ...?
Does it depend upon turntable styles -- belt drive, direct drive, idler wheel?

I've found many isolation feet made of rubber or metal under $20 in eBay. What would be your best pick for turntable isolation feet for under $50?

Thanks in advance.

With a variety of turntables, I like also like the basic Mapleshade isolation system, but with the 4 Isoblocks replaced by 3 or 4 cryo'd mini-springs ("Baby Promethean Mini Isolators" from Machina Dynamica) supporting the thick piece of maple.

An occasional turntable/plinth design like B&O doesn't allow for easy positioning of footers against the turntable/plinth itself.

Many a turntable can be directly supported by the thick piece of maple, which in turn is directly supported by the cryo'd mini-springs.
This abbreviated approach is easy, low cost, and audibly beneficial.
