Vibration isolation for Io Callisto?


Just purchased the Aesthetix Callisto to go along with the Io I had recently aquired. I simply plopped 'em down on my existing racks, corian sandboxes and Black Diamond cones without experimentation. What have other users found to work best? I've recieved much useful info regarding nos tube swapping on these units via the threads & individuals on this site. Very much appreciated! Now I'm looking for some direction/concensus on the isolation thing. Has anything been previously covered in this vein? Also, what about powercords/conditioning? I have a number of the Canadian-made Foundation LC1's that I run on all front end components. These dedicated (one-per-component)line conditioner/cords have worked so well on all previous pieces of gear that I've went ahead and plugged the Cal' & Io into 'em too. I suppose I should try pluggin' them in with the stock cords too but is there other cords/conditioners out there which could unseat my in'house reigning champ? Your opinions are welcome.

Why don't you e-mail Albert Porter. He is the most knowledgeable A'diogoner as far as the Aesthetix's are concerend and besides that a true gentleman and a very kind and helpful person.
Albert, this time you have truly outdone yourself and I've learnt a lot for myself. Thankyou. I'm very happy with my IO, which I use together with my Jadis gear. The Jadis is still better in dynamics, but for the rest, soundstage, layering, resolution, pristine highs and tight bass rendering, the IO is in a league by itself. Your twofold powersupply, I suppose, does not have this slight failing in dynamics. Is this mod still being done?
By the way, in the question of RR ablutions, I've posted my latest finding under "record cleaning rituals". Perhaps they are of interest.
Regards,
