Heartilly agree with this...

Of course there is no substitute for individual experimentation...but under my tube preamp I have tried roller bearings, BDR cones, Herbie's, Vibrapods/cones, but the best in my system has been the Mapleshade cones on a thick maple platform sitting on isoblocks. It just sounded the best all around without a loss of detail or sounding too "dead".

That said, you can save some $$ by sourcing the maple platform from somewhere else. There are several woodworking supply places that have air dried maple...for significantly less...shipping will probably be more than the cost of the wood...if they will do a small order...the isoblocks you can source through an industrial supply place...see link.
