Cjs, I have both Vibrapods and Sinks. There is no comparison. The Sinks are light years better in a high res system. Both products subtract nasty sounding vibrations but replace it with some degree of muddiness. The Vibrapods add about 10 times as much mud as the Sinks and remove only 65% of the nasties. Plus the Sinks add a liveliness that the Vibrapods do not. Vibrapods are good enough for mid-fi, but my observation reading the posts here at Audiogon is that there is far too much spent on cables in relation to too little spent on vibration control and room treatments. However, you need to be careful that you use the right Sink with each product. The more expensive Sinks do not necessarily mean better sound. Each product reacts differently to each Sink. Avguygeorge, are you sure the flatness is not just the valves - these can be repared, but if the bladder has a leak, they are indeed dead.
