I dont use vibrapods, but agree with the theory, just not sure of any benefit I would see.

The stand comes with both spikes and an upside down bowl foot.  You can use either...I use the spikes with no issues.

thanks again nick(s).

also, for your amps/transports, do you guys use vibrapods or the like?

and i have carpet, so would those "feet" work, or do i need "spikes" of some sort?

I've been meaning to get some sort of decoupling devices for my source but I've never gotten around to it.

there's a vibrapod thread somewhere - several people claim that it makes a big difference.  I just purchase some - they were only $30 shipped for a package of four at audioadvisor.com - so why not give it a shot?

Laziness on my part.  It's been my intention to order some Herbie's Tenderfeet when I ordered a few more Hal-Os and I just haven't got around to it.  When I get around to it I'd like to add an iron bar or a slab of granite to weigh down as well.

That's another one.  I have some slate tiles left over from tiling my kitchen... I'm thinking about covering a bit of that in felt and using it to control vibtation too... how much weight is generally put on a cd/dvd player - anyone know?  For now, I'd be doing this on a Tos 4960

barbell plates work really well.
