In some cases, spending more is necessary to have a product that’s effective in isolating, decoupling or draining. Vibrapods have some isolating properties but also store resonances, therefore aren’t near as effective as more expensive, well thought out products. I’m a fan of springs and have over the years tried to make my own products using springs and have been impressed. Recently ordered some Townshend spring products after years of trying but not yet reaching the pinnacle of springs with proper damping.
Why spend more than $25 per piece of equipment on vibration reduction?
Do products more expensive than Vibrapods ($24 per set of four) provide superior isolation? I've been pretty happy with the pods, but I wonder whether spending somewhat more, e.g., on Iso-pucks, would bring notably superior results. Or is more a matter of visual, as opposed to audible, aesthetics?
