Glass coasters and Isonone feet
I have heard that placing the isonone feet on glass coasters is supposed to improve things but has anyone actually tried this. I notice over on Dave Cawley website he sells the isonone feet with a small glass termination platform. I tried my own deck on sorobothane and found that it sucked the life out of the music.

Yes but what does the glass then rest on?

It's special triple-annealed audiophile glass infused with pixie dust and it sits on a fluffy cushion of fairy breath...

It is a well propagated (fact) suggestion that these isolation feet sound/work best on glass and the coasters are for those who don't have glass shelves. I have not explored this enough yet to really say what I think. The glass is referred to as being 'instrument glass' whatever that means.

I have a set of the glass coasters made by Isonoe for the feet. I have tried them a couple of times and each time I have removed them again as being detrimental to the sound. I understand the theory and the fact that my Isonoes should prefer to rest their ball bearings on glass rather than the wood of my Solid-Tech system rack, but the experience says otherwise.

What exactly is the theory (in this case)?
