Hi.Spikes or cone-shaped tip toes, being one end pin-pointed, can provide excellent decoupling or sorta "isolation" effect to external vibrations, considering the low cost, & simplicity to install.
Strictly speaking, only magnetic or air float is complete isolation.
Anything else, like rubber tubing, etc etc, still involves physical contacts. But the cost &/or the size of the floating equipment can make most home audios prohobitive, let alone the sonic implication if any.Lab equipment may need something more sophisticated, like active
servo-vibration controllers. This is, IMO, entirely outside of scope of average home audio.Concept can be lofty & ideal but can be impractical for everyday Joe Blow's audio at home. If compromise can work out close enough to kill vibrations AND improve sound, it is a valid solution, like decoupling spikes or cones.
As I said, decouplers alone are not enough, mass is needed to dissipate or counter-react to vibrations & to compliment the effectiveness of decoupling.
Guess what I use to provide the heavy mass to decoupled EACH equipment?
