Vibrapods and points

emcclary

Has anyone used these items in isolating their system? I am building a built in cabinet for my whole system and was thinking of using these on the receiver, dvd player and cd player. I know they sell the points to go with the pods but they arent for sale at the polk site yet. Any feedback would be appreciated.

I've used vibrapods before under my cd player. Be careful as they can mess up some wood finishes. I don't know if the Vibrapod conepoints have this issue.

Yeah Ive read that but I will be putting sheet of cork under them to keep them off the wood finish. I am interested in trying the pod/conepoint combo

Bump, I want to hear what others think about these.

I used them for years until just recently. I think it depends on how solid your rack is and what it is made of, and the weight of your components along with the quality of their stock feet. If your built in cabinet will be nice and solid, and not prone to vibration, that would help. Maybe you could even dampen it with something, like packing some nice thick insulation around it. I decided that my tube integrated was heavy enough (45-50lbs), and on a solid enough surface that it didn't need anything. My new CDP is almost 30 lbs and has very good stock feet, so I decided it didn't need them either. My old CDP was much lighter and I think it may have benefited from them though. But with some components they may soften the sonics a little bit. I think a firm, solid surface is better in some cases. Sometimes you just have to experiment and see how your components react to something like Vibrapods.

I'd also like to hear what others have to say in regards to following online-instructions on what ones to choose from/etc and how they worked out for them.
