Vibration Isolation

I came across these the other day and for the price I couldn't pass up trying them.  I've spent as much as $75 each for vibration isolation pucks and seen pucks going as high as $900 each.  I have to say that these $0.62 wonders work as well as anything I've tried and much better than the cork ones I've seen advertised for $6-$7 each.  Even though my VPI turntable has factory cones and feet I did notice an improvement in smoothness and clarity.  Too few bargains in high end audio not to share. I now have these under my monoblock amps, turntable and turntable motor.  Hope this helps someone looking for an inexpensive way to dampen vibration.

I use those. (2X2 squares) Put under tube amp, streamer-dac, speakers and power conditioner. It's a no-brainer.

I use similar things under an isolation platform my phono stage sits on, it sits on Polycrystal cones, though.
Every piece of equipment I have sounds best in my system with different cones under it. Polycrystal is quite versatile.

These are what my local stereo sold me. At  $4/each. 
I use them along with a second tool. Walmart replacement
tire tubes. Size 12.5". Cost $4.50 ea.  That I have under the 
Oppo CD player. The retailer I mentioned that is here locally
uses it under his turntable. That failed for me however.
