    Tried em' built them ...not overly impressed. Better than no isolation/coupling device ..

    The best source of spoons is wilco they are cheap and circular the handle also comes off the bowl in a relatively flat plane. I used 10mm steel ball bearings , the cups were sat on mdf discs shaped to the curvature of the spoon cup.

    Like most things ..they work well with some kit obviously mine was not among them.

    The down side for me was that each time you touch the eject button or volume pot the gear waltzes about the shelf. Let aloan little sonic gain.

    This man has developed some very clever isolation bases.

    it always depends how much your enviroment can take - IME nothing can beat a CDP blutacked to a granite slab and put on half inflated bycicle inner tube, but than most of us have to share a living area with someone else.....

    Well, I borrowed a mate's home-made wooden speaker stands, and im impressed! Sounds much more natural than any metal ones i've had, and bass seems improved.

    The metal ones sound thin, and artificial in comparison. Believe it or not.
