I keep an arsenal of isolation tweaks handy. All isolation
tweaks produce different tonal shifts as well as variable
effectiveness in producing an enhanced musical sound.
I like bearing isolation for some applications and have Aurios MIB, Symposium Rollerblock, and Daruma II in my collection. Can be very effective under CDP, but also expensive and sometimes difficult/impossible to set-up because of cables being used.
Vibrapods/Air Bladders are very inexpensive and usually
easy to set-up. Good place to start, good for bright/lean sounding systems that need a richer sound. Go buy some
vibrapods or 12 inch bicycle innertubes and give it a try,
only cost you a few dollars.
I don't care for cones, but many people use them, they
are cheap and may be helpful if you have warm sound and are looking to acheive tighter/leaner more detailed sound.
Also available are aftermarket shelfs/platforms that are designed to control vibration, Symposium, Nueance etc.
usually you need to directly couple your gear to shelf
to get benefit.
Vibrations do affect sound, the most dramatic demonstration
is to properly set-up bearing isolation device under CDP,
you will be suprised what will be revealed in your favorite recordings.
