Sand, Bladders and ???

Isolation Ward

From ebony pucks to magic foil, mystical and controversial tweaks.

I purchased a Bright Star Audio rack in the late 90s. You had the option of sandboxes or sandbox on air bladder for each individual shelf.

Two of my shelves are the sandbox on bladder. Up to now I've put the component directly on the shelf (stock hard rubber feet in each case). I've now got my system optimized using concepts from Jim Smith's Get Better Sound (highly recommended) so I feel that a change in the stock component feet my be worth a try.

Would I get best results with hard feet (carbon fiber, brass, wood, etc) or should I go with something soft like Herbie's Tender Feet? I was thinking that two types of isolation like an air bladder and soft feet might work against each other. I don't understand the science behind all this so anyone chiming in with more knowledge or direct experience would be greatly appreciated.

Or would it be best to forget the bladder and go with some kind of component feet on the sandbox?

Thank you.
