Duster:
For larger components there is an EAR isolation footer that is 1.5" diameter by 0.75" height that will handle 10-20 pounds. Parts Connexion and Michael Percy have them.
It would be interesting to do a large scale survey of high end audio isolators with the lab equipment that I had when I was still working. Such technical testing would easily reveal which units were performing best as a vibration isolator. I have uploaded an image showing some transmissibility curves for some grommets, including the C-1002 type.
Despite what ever a technical test might reveal about the true performance of an audio isolator, it would be true that the sonic effect of any given isolator could be different. So in the end it could come down to the particular sonic character that a listener likes, as much or more so than the technical performance of the isolator. As always, high end audio is complex, and not easily distilled to simple, easy answers.
