I have also seen the cork/rubber blocks you mentioned too.. I think I'll pick up these instead:

and maybe the Cardas blocks, and see what difference I can tell, if any.
I think I paid $12.00 per pod/cone (so that would be $36.00 per component if three are used). I misunderstood the price of the Myrtle blocks, and agree that $7.00 per block is quite reasonable, especially given the nice aesthetics of the finished product.
The article from Stereophile was interesting too, and has me wanting to try some Myrtle blocks myself.
