I experimented with Isodamp grommets and dampingbsheetsca long time ago, they oook so cool, nice blue color, not too hard, not too soft. Should work great, right? Real professional, even the name sounds professional, well, guess what, gentle readers? Whatever this stuff is made of it sucks the life right out of the system. If you're on the prowl for viscoelastic materials you can do much better.
Generally, very hard materials like ceramics and hardened steel are preferred to rubbery materials for most audio application, to allow for rapid evacuation of stored energy, but when you need constrained layer damping there are some good-sounding products out there. But not Sorbothane. Yes, I realize some people are going to say it sounds good in their system.
