RDC Cones or keep Isonoe feet

[Dubster68]

Has anyone had experience of the RDC cones ? Do you use them on their own or with cone cups ? Also which ones are best for a technics 1210. I know they are M6 bolts but not sure which cones I would need as there are so many .

I have Isonoe feet at the moment and been happy with them but wondering if I can get better. A few members say the RDCs are a quality item but wanting to make sure first from people who have used them.
Also possibly planning selling the Isonone to fund the change:D

Any help greatly appreciated:D

I've used RDC cones under Lenco turntables but no experience of the 1210. Can't remember which ones but they were biggish used without cups. I once had a set with bolts but thought the bolts rather defeated the object - getting good contact between the appliance and the cones makes more sense in absorbing vibrations in the appliance. That of course means you need a level platform if you can't level with the cones. I've always thought they had a positive effect on turntablse and other equipment but with price rises value doesn't look that good any more. Couldn't say whether they are better or worse than your current feet.

I have RDC cones on my SL-1210. I chose them in a direct comparison with Funk Firm's Bo!ng feet and the original Techie feet.
I actually did recordings which were made available both on this fora and on some swedish ones.
The original feet and the RDC cones were preferred over the spring loaded Bo!ng every time. I personally preferred the RDCs, while others liked the original and the RDCs about evenly.

Though this doesn't say anying about the Isonoes i can say that i would personally never select sprung feet in in any shape for the Techy. I like it stiff! ;) (For practical reasons mainly..)

Thanks for the advice everyone. I just need to find out which ones I need as there are 2 sizes and costs are ridiculous for what they actually are.

If the cost is ridiculous then don't bother, as the guy said above, even stock feet sound good. I mean they certainly seem to be built to a good spec. Nicely damped, with felt pads aswell. I'm currently trying out cheapo 'Foculpods', nothing to report as yet, did you find the Isonoes made any difference ?

I have Isonoes and Isoboots on mine, and prefer them to stock feet, and the Boings.
The deck doesn't bounce around too much with the Isonoes either.

RDC cones for definite

Outperformed Isonoes and Techniboots.

Mine are RDC2 and I found they performed best *without* the bases.

Yes I sometimes wonder at it all.

Sounds wunnerful tho

Possibly not - those racks are not the best for isolation.
A friend has one, and he's had to bugger around to kill the various resonances.

The Creaktiv was very good, a nice step up from Mana and I assumed the other supports would not change it.
What resonances ?

[Stratmangler]

The one I've seen was very lively, to the point of making itself audible underneath the music.
Was is the key word - it's not lively now, but it's taken a lot of buggering about to make it that way.

Best isolation I found for plonking kit on my Stands Unique glass rack.

Though weirdly, the best I found for my digital source was 3 feet off an old Rega turntable, go figure!

I found the demo one I had from Tony better than Mana right away. Then I think it became better, perhaps due to the sand or particles of unobtainium settling.
I now have 2 Creaktiv racks and they are staying
