Has anyone had experiences good or bad with speaker isolation or isolation in general ?
Thanks for the clarification. I know gravity is way weaker than electromagnetism and the strong and weak nuclear forces. I didn't realize its wavelengths we're so small..

@bdp24 those look very reasonably.. I may try them under my tube amp. Their speaker roller bearings are much more expensive though.. but I guess it is for two sets, so it's not so bad. Still, the spring suspended maple block for my turntable has b...

Gravity waves are huge, sound waves and the electromagnetic waves within circuits, much less so... That makes me think that the heroic efforts to reduce vibration used at LIGO are probably not necessary in audio. 
Class D = Trash?
you and your facts. 
Has anyone had experiences good or bad with speaker isolation or isolation in general ?
Oh, I'm talking specifically about the incredible methods they use at LIGO. I've already got my speakers on spikes, put dynamat in my cabinets, have my turntable on a spring suspended maple platform, heavy tiles on my class d monoblocks and my tub... 
High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz
@mcondon agreed.  though i have not worked the last 13 years, so i can't afford much!  kidding, as i'm a stay at home dad and my wife makes decent money, but growing up working class made me look at some of these cable prices and decide instantly ...

good question.. i meant law of diminishing returns.it was in reference to the applicability of LIGO vibration isolation methods to audio.   
Has anyone had experiences good or bad with speaker isolation or isolation in general ?
My scepticism arises from the huge difference in wavelengths and the law of something returns.bugredmachine - Alas, no AXPONA for me.. I’m saving my weekend trips for climbing, mountain biking and skiing. I’ll happily send a few bucks your way to ... 
Placement tips for Synergistic Research HTFs
Agreed. Though, intellectually I have a hard time being open to something if I don't at least have some sort of understanding of the mechanism at work.  
Has anyone had experiences good or bad with speaker isolation or isolation in general ?
Thanks guys, great info.Yeah, I'm a budget minded guy and find it hard to spend $400 on roller bearing units when my pair of monoblock amps cost $600..@folkfreak I find your analysis interesting, however I don't perceive my bass coming from the fl... 
Class D = Trash?
@sanvara - I had a crown xls1500 that sounded great. Recently bought a used pair of Ghent audio monoblocks and they sound even better.. they're using the ICEpower ASP modules, I believe. I was doubtful they'd sound better.. but they do. 
Placement tips for Synergistic Research HTFs
Yeah, I'm at a loss, though I've spent maybe 10 minutes thinking about it. My only guess is that it relates to the electromagnetic radiation spectrum. As far as I know, that's the only thing at high enough levels to be worth trying to attenuate, a... 
Has anyone had experiences good or bad with speaker isolation or isolation in general ?
I understand the physics.. I’m just loathe to spend a chunk of money on something that may only have almost imperceptible benefits in my application. Hence my questions about improvements on concrete slab floors..This seems hard to DIY..I'm trying... 
Has anyone had experiences good or bad with speaker isolation or isolation in general ?
Alas, I can't really get much more width than how wide my speakers already are.. again because of the need to keep space for the playroom entrance. Right now my speakers are spiked through carpet into a concrete slab...Anyone have any idea if spri... 
Has anyone had experiences good or bad with speaker isolation or isolation in general ?
Question: how unstable are some of these things making your speakers? We have a playroom in our basement and kids have to walk right past my right speaker to get to the playroom. I'd love to experiment with these things, but I can't risk a child b...
