[QUOTE="KenMasters, post: 1171659, member: 517"] I know what a Vibrapod is, functionally it does the same thing as the sorbothane pucks on either side of my tumble-dryer. There is nothing magic about a Vibrapod. I do use SVS Soundpaths for my subs because I have a floating floor and during sustained notes it could cause unwanted contributions from my skirting boards, the Soundpaths solved the issue by removing the mechanically induced vibration (while having no effect on the response). If mechanically induced noise isn't an issue, decoupling isn't necessary. They have their use for getting rid of sympathetic noises, but that's as far as it goes, they don't have any magical properties beyond that. EDIT: With my old Wylandts cabinet I had pads under my Xbox and Blu-ray player because the cabinet would exacerbate the sound of their drives - there they helped. With my new, very heavy and very solid cabinet I don't have that issue, so no more pads. I reiterate, they serve a useful purpose, but only that purpose - they can't by virtue of their presence bless a device with good sound. [/QUOTE]
