What do you use in between your speakers and their stands ?

Thanks Ray , I have used black too on many an occasion until on one occasion it pulled the veneer off on some Kef 103’s , I guess it won’t damage these though

Yes I've heard that but I have used it on my speakers for 7 years without any problem, just replaced as I tried the vibrapods which did not work for me. Isopucks I think will be good but they are pretty expensive.

Those Hudsons look quite good, you may get away withe the 0.75 size, which are much cheaper: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07RBN6C...2WTDd3a6L?th=1

Blue Tac

Haven't thought about it all that much, I don't remember doing a with/without hearing test either, though I might have done.

Ikea Bamboo butchers block, not pretty to look at , but pretty effective sound wise me thinks. These are used as equipment support of course.
My stands are metal and they move around on castors, so ugly meets ugly I suppose !

I cut some of this stuff

easily found in all hardware stores, made of recycled plastic (tyres or something like that), usually recommended to put underneath your white goods (washing machine, dryer).
It works a treat, as good as blutak as it bounds the stand and the speaker base, but without the mess after.

I have applied the ole black tac , they’re now very sturdy

I ordered two pieces of some sort of rubber sandwich made by a firm called Diversitech - each piece is 6x6", so I'm going to cut each into 4, giving me eight 3" squares, for £12. After waiting over a week for delivery I checked what the delay was, and found they were in the basket but not purchased So still waiting.

That reminds me I wanted to try some rubber carpet underlay as it looked just right. The minimum order was about 5m so I've got a big roll of it in the garage. Could probably get about 10,000 small feet off it, or 100+ speaker sized rectangles

We cut some pieces from a door mat (black rubber base, grey fabric top) and flipped them. That’s for the active monitors at the computer desk. I’m planning on trying some squash balls halved for my Tannoy Eatons.

That sounds like it would work if the goal was simply isolation, but the design of my speakers are such that bass is augmented by ports in the base, and these ports need to 'see' some space below them, or it's bye bye bass Rubber carpet underlay would squash too much as the speakers are almost 80lbs each. Hence the Diversitech approach. It's pretty hard stuff.
