Do isolation devices really help?

Pbb: of course the manufacturers benefit. Similarly with components, music, performers, milk producers, micro-software producers, self-professed gurus, demagogues, and many others :).

This is most unfortunate.
I.e. that person(s) known or unknown benefit, probably financially, from activities of a similar or dissimilar nature...

But the original question was, does s/thing that isolates help? Not how/whether manufacturers of same benefit -- or whether it's acceptable that such products are in the offering. Cheers!

PBB,

Does that mean you don't leave milk and cookies out for Santa? I bet if you have kids you do.

I'm 38, still believe and still do!

There seems to be a huge difference in my enjoyment factor when I sit on pads versus cones. I prefer the pads.

Donald, I couldn't resist the previous attempt at humor. Seriously, this subject requires experimentation. My turntable doesn't want anything other than a well-coupled stand to sit on. My electronics don't seem to care one way or another and my CDP likes a weight on top of it. From what I've read in the forums previously it takes time to find what works unless you bubble wrap the world.
