Best isolation device

I am currently running a tube pre and solid state amp. I am trying to decide on a set of feet to set them on. The problem is that I have a glass and steel belo rack. Wife. I am not sure I will have enough clearance for a platform as well the cones. I have considered black diamond and mapleshade. I just want something that will work on glass. Thanks for the help.

As anticipated, the glass shelves have turned the stomachs and raised the hairs of my fellow agonr's. Should I threaten my wife with divorce? Without the shelves, what is best? Thanks for the great input.

Vibrapods and Vibracones work great with glass shelves. Go to Vibrapod.com and check out the Vibrapod sandwich.

You could get custom shelves done such as Neuance.

I haven't tried them yet but plan to for my CDP.

Naim makes a highly regarded shelving system that uses glass shelves as do others. There are many misconceptions in this hobby. "Glass shelves are evil" is one of them.

Unfortunately the best feet for your combination of shelving and equipment can only be determined by trial and error. Buy stuff used so you can resell what doesn't work and have fun experimenting.

I use the ISODES polymer feet with my gear(also have a bello rack). If I am not mistaken, the ISONodes were a recommended tweak by stereotimes were well receiive by various reviewers. The manufacture of the product is Brightstar

Good luck
