Vibration control. Tube equipment. What's the best way to do it ?


I have VAC Avatar SE integrated sitting on thick maple block which in turn sits on three big brass Audiopoint cones that penetrate through the floor carpet.

How would you improve it ?

@inna Maple is a harder wood, more dense, tighter grain than the Baltic Birch, resultant sound is less warm.

 

There is no single isolation solution, so many variables, combos of all sorts may get one to final voicing and/or max transparency/resolution. Forgot to mention I also use Isoacustics products in certain situations, pretty effective in the warmer realm of voicing. I'd also add no footer as in my hanging via fish line method is the most neutral or voiceless solution, my fav for dacs and cdplayers.

HRS. Although I found the positives varied greatly from component to component. 

sns, I see. It would be interesting to experiment with various woods. Ebony or Brazilian Rosewood isolation platforms anyone ?

@inna You often see speakers and turntables made of various woods, esthetics for speaker I imagine, people report differences with turntables. I'd think there would have to be a pretty wide variation between wood densities to hear a difference.
