Just trying to get the most from my SEG / Digione headphone set up and now wondering if there is anything to be gained by using some isolators underneath.
Using Supra cables throughout, the SEG has been Supercapped and the headphone amp updated by Stan, Longdog Audio PSU and last nights addition of a Mark Grant Caiman fuse.
Cheers,
Bill

You could try my solution, buy a cork dining mat from IKEA, cut to appropriate squares, place under equipment (maybe 5 stacks), with a cherry on top, in my case a 2.5kg weight plate. Will have to do until I get around to replacing them with sorbothane spheres and sexy granite/marble slabs. Yes this does help improve the sound in my setup, try it and see, not much to lose by going with the budget approach first. You like it, explore the more costly options.   farm5.staticflickr.com/4769/38793847565_0c51459ffc_b.jpg |

Cheaper
The earlier Black Ravioli which I am told improve if you stack on each other.
RDC cones. On their own or better with bases.

Sorbothane feet if you need really cheap, but Black Ravioli are the best. Granite coasters on top, too.

Umm, check the source carefully, otherwise they're not likely to be genuine. BR Pads are a new product.

I use the older style Black Ravioli under my amp and DAC and it made a noticeable difference.
For my CD Transport I use older style Stillpoints, and again they made quite a lot of difference, arguably more than the older style Black Ravioli.

Since my Pi and SEG have become a serious source of music, I've ordered some of the cheaper Black Ravioli Pads to go under them.

Once you get them, you’ll have to let us know how they compare to the others, Martin.

How would you guys compare sorbothane to ravioli pads? You all seem to really like them.

I have found Black Ravioli more rounded and fuller sounding than Sorbothane.

Sorbothane only really works for me with the turntable as it needs the most isolation.
Black Ravioli is fundamentally different and seems to both damp and couple the equipment, it's not like any other footer I've tried (and I have a collection of them). It does amazing things for my SACD player, for instance. Not something I can explain but easily and repeatedly heard.
