witchdoctor Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Hi witchdoctor certainly don't use anything that contains rubber or sorbothane between component and shelf or stand. These are some of the worst materials.I still use blu-tac between speakers and stands. Between components and shelves I use cut up bamboo cutting board rectangles about 20 x 15 x 30mm stood on 15mm edge. The downside is the component can move especially a CD player(I have a white stone sitting on this to counteract this). I use to use solid copper discs(25mm dia x 20mm thick) and aluminium which I made. I have tried brass cones and still use them under my granite to floor under my subs which are spiked to granite.

4est Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 "Isopads" were specifically designed to hold a furnace, not maple boards. They are available at your local HVAC supply house for about 50 cents each.

Next time I order I'll save some $$ thanks BTW, anyone using a PC for a front end I found using the mapleshade isolation system is an amazing upgrade. It made colors more vibrant and images more detailed on video, and for audio it sounds as if I upgraded to a much better DAC. I didn't expect this much improvement and am glad robocop reminded me to get my PC off the floor and isolated . Link to comment
