Vibration control question....


If I have access to a 18"x12"x3" block of granite for my CD player, would it be best to use spikes or can I keep using the vibrapods that I am using now ? Thanks in advance for any input.

I am using the same size Granite Block myself,Its actually a Starret measurung block 20x20x3" and I have tried both.I depends on what your looking to do.With the Vibrapods the sound is warmer but has less air and definition,than with spikes.Using BDR racing cones , are somewhere in the middle of the Brass spikes and Vibrapods.My system is all tubes,so for me I stayed with the Audiopoint brass spikes under my cd player..You really need to experiment to really find out for sure.It really depends on your ears and what your loooking for.There are also many other variations of footers to use......Good luck

Just straight underneath the cd player into the Granite.It took me awhile to get use to it.It just seems to give more air and definition. I fought with it for awhile,but in the end the Audiopoints were and are the clear winner for me..I think we all tend to not try something long enough.For the price its a bargian for sure.
I got a tip from Warren ( pretty sure it was him ) on the Audioponits and went back and forth with the Vibrapods but eventually agreed that the Audiopoints were superior in deed....God Luck
