Initially, I mounted my first maple platforms on our footers with fine sonic results. (This is still essential for platforms on carpeted floors.) After lots of tests with flexible suspension isolating mounts, I evolved the Isoblock specifically for our maple platforms. On hard surfaces, an Isoblock under each corner of the platform is even better than our brass footers, at only $24 per set of four. Isoblocks are a rubber/cork/rubber laminate whose size and number of laminations I tuned by ear to give just the right vertical, horizontal, and torsional resonant frequencies for best sonic isolation.
Isoblocks can also be used for mounting anti-resonant platforms other than our maple ones. Head-to-head, they sound better—particularly in lack of bass boom and clarity of midrange detail—than Vibrapods, Sorbothane, Sorbagel, Iso-bearings, sandbox mounts, and inner tube air suspensions. Where space constraints force you to stack equipment, Isoblocks are the best way to separate components. 30-day money back.
