I have abandoned the idea of putting anything "squishy" under my metal Cubix stands. I will revisit the principle of this form of isolation some time in March but when I do it will be to try the squishy principle between the top of my stand and the base of my Cubix.

We are going to be demonstrating the starter bundle (P50, S80 cables) as a table-top system at shows, so was looking for something to isolate them. A much bigger improvement on the previous hard rubber feet than I had expected. I also ordered a set of washing machine cups, to compare...they arrive next week.

Better than the hard rubber studs but not nearly as good as the iso pucks ..

Is "finishing" the project a realistic expectation? I'd rather assumed they were a bit like Concorde, an experiment in service.
