Nick,

This is much more expensive, but all reviews say worth the price:  https://www.townshendaudio.com/hi-fi-home-cinema-equipment-vibration-isolation/hi-fi-home-cinema-vibration-isolation-speaker-podiums/

Are the gliders permanently attached to the bottom of the your speaker cabinets? I was thinking some sort of outrigger feet might work.

I mentioned  townshendaudio as supposedly being top of the line. Price point commensurate I might add.

The gliders are not permanently attached.

Show me something built to last. 8) :thumb:

Oh! You are right. Missed that! :duh

And Townshend's seismic isolation stand is something else! It's got what looks like glass shelves(?), but looks like it means business!

Any experience with adding isolation/footers underneath a subwoofer? I have a small REL and the designer specifically warns against doing this, but until you try, who knows?

 I use these- https://isoacoustics.com/home-audio-isolation-products/aperta-sub/

As they say, YMMV, but in my situation-listening area is over a basement, with a typical suspended wood floor, they worked great. My floor was singing along with the sub; it wasn’t terrible, but the isolation device seems to have cleaned things up a bit.
I actually turned up the gain on the sub a notch or so to compensate, as the floor had been contributing it’s own sound to the mix.
I don’t know if a sub on a cement floor would benefit as much, but my sub on a suspended wood floor did.

Paul,

I just found some pricing on Audiogon and the Townsend stuff is pricey…more than I’d like to spend at this time. I will admit that I just spent good 💵 and bought a used Hapa Audio polished silver Aero digital cable, and the improvement is significant over my WyWires Platinum digital coax. But…. it is the holiday season and my pockets are getting emptier 😳 If I knew the improvement would be as significant as the amazing Hapa Aero, I’d certainly consider doing it at some point. My JMR Voce Grande speakers have gliders, but they are fixed and not adjustable. Individual iso pucks would work. My speakers are at least 70 lbs each.
