My new Woo Audio WA5-LE "The Black Beauty" - Page 8

the rubber would probably be BETTER - audioholics proved that these spikes are actually optimal at transferring vibration INTO equipment

If that's true then they would be the very last thing you'd want for a tube amp.

Doug, would you happen to have a link to the post?  It is my understanding that the shape of the points act as a block to diminish vibration from transfering from the table to the unit.  I'm not an expert and am always looking to learn more so I don't waste my money.

Thanks.

Using both on my Woo FTW: 

Stock rubber feet for vibration and a maple platform with brass spikes for isolation

Interesting.  Where did you get the wood platform?
 

Timber Nation

Lots of options there, my TT is on a 2" thick version.
