Vibration Tweaks


What vibration isolators for individual components are the most effective? I recently touched each piece of equipment with the volume at an intermediate level and was surprised at the amount of vibration caused by the speakers. Would speaker stands be the first place to start? I have them (B&W 802 matrix) standing on hardwood floors with felt pads so I can slide them when necessary.

The most often overlooked piece of the mechanical isolation puzzle is right up on top (of each component).

There are lots and lots of cones, blobs, platforms, spikes, discs, etc. out there, and most of them do a great job.
Don't forget to mass load the tops of your components, though. Common grey-concrete bricks with felt glued to the bottoms work very well. And they're CHEAP!
