The Best Isolation/ Vibration Footers per component - what's your experience?


Hi everyone,

There are probably a dozen of threads out there on Isolation/ Vibration footers out there, but there hasn't been thus far one been that combines the following two assumptions:

1. Isolation/ Vibration effectiveness differs per type of component (from source to speaker).
2. The above with Most Popular brands available as per July 2020.

Some of the most recognised brands thus far:
  
  • Arya Audio
  • Artesania Audio
  • Aurios
  • Black Diamond Racing
  • Critical Mass Systems
  • Gingko
  • Harmonic Resolution Systems
  • Harmonix
  • Iso-Acoustics
  • Shun Mook
  • Silent Running Audio
  • Star Sound Technologies
  • Stillpoints
  • Symposium
  • Townshend

The reason for starting this thread is that in the past few months I have been reading that the Critical Mass Centerstage 2 footers are beating all or most of the above solutions from the other named brands. However, it seems that the Arya Audio Revopods are also beating most of the brands in some high-end select forums and groups as well. 

Do you use and or have/ had any experience with the above and where did you place them and why?

Here is my setup currently.

1. Source/ Network player: Star Sound Technologies Sistrum platform
2. Pre-Amp: No footer yet (Artesania Audio rack)
3. Amplifier: No footer yet (Artesania Audio rack)
4. Power conditioner: Harmonic Resolution Systems Nimbus & HRS platform footers
5. Power supplies for source: Stillpoints
6. Router: Stillpoints
7. Speakers: Stillpoints

I found out that this works the best in my system, but would like to know your experience as I found that using these footers and their effectiveness really depends on the component. Specifically, I would like to hear your experience with Arya Audio and Centerstage 2 footers?

Marigo Audio composite shelves used in conjunction with their H1 footers are the best I've heard/owned. I started with Mapleshade maple shelves (with Goldmund cones, later replaced by Audio Tekne carbon blocks). I then went to the Adona rack and shelves. Now using the Adona rack with the Marigo shelves and footers. Ron Hedrich at Marigo offers a 30 day money back audition on his products. Good listening.
Thanks for the feedback! Can you let us know which other brands you have tried and on which components for reference?
Two potential challenges:

1) your list of recognized brands is not comprehensive
(can it ever be?)
2) any rating of "effectiveness per type of component" simply does
not exist, even if it could be "measured'

So, this inquiry is destined to generate responses like,
"Here is what works for me."

What value will these kinds of comments have, for you,
other than introduce more recognized brands that are not
yet familiar to you?

A statement like "effectivenss really depends on the
component" has no meaning, no use!  Does it?
You go from findings that are specific to your system and then
are looking for broad generalizations that are not
system-dependent?  

Nice try.
