Wilson Audio isolation footers
Just use Sobothane pads your pocket will thank you. Different densities for different weights. https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l1313&_nkw=Sorbothane+disc&_sacat=0&LH_TitleDesc=0&_osacat=0&_odkw=Sorbothane+pads Cheers George |
Wilson's "V-Material" (the element of the Pedestal that does the isolating) is a rubber compound of some sort. It's ability to provide isolation is limited by that fact, as are Sorbothane, Navcom, EAR Isotech, and all other rubber compounds. Rubber acts as a low-pass filter down to the not-very-low corner-frequency of approximately 10Hz (at best); Superior hi-fi requires a much lower frequency, as close to 1Hz as possible. Wilson is just now getting into this field. Max Townshend (and others) having been working in the field for decades. Check out the Townshend Audio Seismic products for a path to advanced isolation. |

I went ahead and purchased a couple 3 packs of the Wilson Audio Pedestal Isolation Pods and my stereo now sounds better than anything else I've tried under my source equipment, especially Sorbothane pads. Someone may eventually come up with a DIY method of welding Sorbothane in the center of 2 other dissimilar materials to get something drastically better than a standard Sorbothane pad for cheap, but right now you get what you pay for with most types of isolation products. Yes, you can pay more for other products and you may get slightly better performance but I don't think you could tell the difference without using some expensive test equipment. I give these 2 thumbs up. |
