Thanks for those options, in fact Devilboy thanks for that option reminded me I already have something very similar. Yours may be better.

Gotcha.

We all just have to take into consideration why it is that someone would use devices like we are talking about here. When people say they work, how exactly are they "working"?
In terms of providing stability and space and a reliable, safe platform for your precious components to sit on, then I highly recommend the rubber ones or ones like I was using before, the IsoAcoustics. They are phenomenal for the stability they provide.

But from a sonic perspective, I consider "working" to be channeling internal vibrations out of the component caused by the incoming electricity.

Using the Live Vibe points has made a profound difference in both my headphone system and my loudspeaker system.
Of course I am not affiliated in any way with Live Vibe, I'm just a regular dude sharing my experience.

I tought that those foot isolators made sense for speakers and the like, in my case i got the Rubber One only to make the Mjolnir 3 have a better airflow

Plus when you think about it, there's not much price difference between the IsoAcoustics and the Live Vibe.
Depending on how heavy your component is, the IsoAcoustics are $50 a piece, so $150 for a set of three. The Live Vibe points are $300-400 depending on the length you get.

Personally, I wouldn't want rubber or anything that moves underneath my speakers. I would rather want something inert.

They have the rubber o ring but are alluminiun i think 😂 but on a serious note i'm not educated on foot isolators and the likes using only headphones and don't having speakers i always tought that in my case It wasn't something essential

I did A/B (with and without) testing with isoacoustic pucks under my speakers. Could be placebo, but I swear they sound less muddy with the pucks.
Glad it worked for you.

Never said I didn't like it. I just didn't care for the pairing with the MJ3. Like I could get OK volume with MJ3 in high gain, but something else in the sound was off probably due to the amp not having enough to really drive it properly and that's not me judging the sound signature.
What DAC were you using?
