Brass, BDR, all manner of those soft rubbery things, steel, aluminum all pale in comparison to NASA grade ceramics. But, cones are SO 1980's! And all of that is moot since real isolation devices take precedence over any cone or footer. Ever since Vibraplane 20 years ago. Mass on spring or mag lev, whatever. My new iso stand mimics the head of a woodpecker, able to withstand 1200 negative g's at the rate of 20 pecks per second. Now, don't get me wrong the component and the stand must be interfaced to the top plate of the iso stand and the floor so cones still have a place.
