What's the best isolation system?


Let's hear your ideas on isolation. I'm hoping this will be a survey of systems featuring the different cone products including Mapleshade Triplepoints and heavy hats, Audiopoints various sizes and their footers, Black Diamond, DB Systems etc; through products like Vibrapod and the sorbathane gel feet,include the bearing type products like Aurios, and how you implemeneted or combined systems for the best sound.

If anyone has tried the Van Slyke Engineering Tri Orbs that have been heavily advertised I'd like to know also.

For instance I'm now using a hybrid Vibrapod sandwich which includes a set of Vibrapods (tumed for each component) a quarter inch piece of plate glass, and then Audiopoint or Mapleshade cones (I'm trying to decide between the two.) I have arrived at this combo by a couple of years of listening in a friends and my system by carefully substituting one product at a time.

Hope to hear from you all.

Deaf, dumb and blind kid sure plays a mean rollerbearing. Some rocker, also now in his fifties wrote a variation of the previous.. Its obvious that some people feel threatened when a new, unique and highly credible product based on science and not conjecture comes to the forefront. The Sistrum science is not based on the ordinary rectangle or the square. Or for that matter ordinary materials such as wood or rubber. How many people out there have actually heard Sistrum Racks? Some audiophiles need to think outside the box. Some of us maybe living on a flat earth. Ya know, its been spherical all along. I have been an audiophile for some 33 years now. I have seen and heard the latest and greatest manifestations of audio and video come and go. Nothing in my years has so impressed me as the application of Sistrum science in my system. After all, the triangle is the basis of all complex shapes. Think again!
Chelillingworth,when you set up the Sistrum rack did you use the proper Delron insert isolators and did you load sand or lead shot in the support rods?
When the details of the devil reside within then isolation will never exist.Same as it ever was and will be.

Material science and geometry. You cannot correct for motion artifacts with devices that also have motion artifacts. They will never respond the same even as a polar opposite. Shape...and shapes help determine direction. Material selection determines signal speed/shear wave velocity on and thru the material. Thats why everything sounds different and makes a difference. Tom

Star Sound Technologies was awarded a product of the decade award. I have been involved since before the end of the 20th  century..We are moving forward and ahead with our designs and applications..Made in the North East here in the USA .Other quality brands are also listed. Tom
Took you nearly 2 months to fall on this thread. The 29th century would be 900 years from now . I can only see ahead 500 yrs. Slowing with age I suppose.. I hope not. Tom 
Yes life is a little ho hum these days and at the same time scary. 
Spending time tweaking the external power supply for my dac tower and implementing a new mechanical grounding scheme for my new Purifi 6.5 inch drivers that have the midrange clarity of a 4 in. and the bass of a very fine 10 in. driver. They are remarkable. Take good care Geoff. ...Tom
