Best vibration tweaks


The components in my system rest on a Lovan rack (not filled). Until recently, I hadn't considered doing much more to control vibrations in my system. But I've noticed that their are some relatively inexpensive (a dangerous phrase in our hobby) tweaks in this department that are available. I'm curious to know what experience others have had with things like Vibrapods, filling their stands with weighted material, airmats, Audiopoints (?), those half-globe gel balls (don't know their name), etc. If you've tried them, how much of an improvement (if any) did they make? Several of these appear to be mutually exclusive, so which do you recommend most? Thanks for your input.

Yes, vibrapods do work But first try lifting all wires, cords, power supplies and conditoners off the floor. Stryafoam is ideal for this. This is cheap and works. Use bubble wrap to isolate wires from power cords....then you can start tuning in ernest. All the market devices will effect the sound of your system in your room so it is hard to say "best". You may have to "borrow" things to try but your biggest tweak is the room itself. How does the room "sound"? Good luck and happy listening. Bluenose
