Re: Of cabbages and kings

Ah, well that answers some questions right off the bat...So how do you tell the difference? The marketing hype around these items seem to draw no real distinction--if anything, there's always the implication or insistence that isolation is what's going on, even in the case of coupling. Maybe I'm misreading things...

Any handy inventory? What falls on the side of isolation?

And back to Pete: by 'shelf,' do you mean just a shelf, a plain ol' shelf, or is this a technical Symposium-style thing you're referring to? My set up is perhaps audiophiliacally shameful: an IKEA Benno TV bench is all I have to put my stuff on. So when you say 'shelf'... I have my wooden shelf. Then I put the Symposium shelf on that, then the innertube, then the rollerbearings? Is that right? Or else: shelf->innertube->Symposium thingy->er, rollerbearings...wait, now I'm lost. Was your set-up the product of trial and error, or were you guided by some pretty specific principles going in? This idea of horizontal vs. vertical isolation is new to me...
