Real isolation is going to be more complicated than a simple stand, no matter what material one chooses. That is why real iso devices such as Vibraplane, Minus zero, Silent Running, Seismic Sink, Halcyonics, Roller bearings of various types, Ginko platform, the one with many levels of glass plates, Relaxa magnetic levitation platform, of various levels of complication, have been so successful. Even for a simple stand one ought to give consideration to the type/material of feet under the stand and under the component.

Slate still rules, soapstone is a good alternative. Either will be a better choice even with something like my TMC legs.

  Mine's got only one. Resonant frequency 0.5 Hz. Note decimal point.

  Has anyone tried Acoustic revive quartz footer?
  isn't it so expensive just for 5cm quartz?
  I used quartz bearing under amp on walunt wood , it wasn't bad but i think
  in my case "Rudraksha" was more natural (& neutral enough)!
  I searched alot & couldn't find somone used them before!
  It has interesting electrical property & hard, i am not sure could work in audio.
  Has anyone tried "Rudraksha" too?

    here as I never heard of rudraksha before, nor have ever seen a sample in person.
    
    I do know that many objects react differently depending upon application.
    Mike VansEvers was laying with various woods to use as footers, supplying a kit which had pieces measuring 1 by 1 by 1 and 1 by 2 by 1 and so forth also made from different woods
    
    While I like spruce as shelving, it simply does not work at all as a footer. It is neccessary to use it cantilevered under a component for maximum benefit.
    
    I believe the same may be work here. The nut may work well as a footer, but as I am totally unfamiliar with its properties, I can not say. All I can say is that if it works for you, that is the only thing that counts.

      Thanks Stu
      Between some material ,it worked ( at least for me!). but i don't know much about properties .it used for health benefit in meditation culture of India .
      And have electromagnetic , paramagnetic ,daiamagnetic ,dynamic polarity & inductive properties ... ! ! !
      But may be , nothing to do with audio ?
      I thought may be interesting for experimenting !I haven't any precise tools and electronic knowldge for deep experiment . !
      Rudraksh found in many east asia countries and i couldn't find someone there who used it ( may be not worked or i couldn't find ).
      thanks for other Christmas gift tweaks too ,good luck

        a Himalayan store close to my home, I'll ask about it. Sorry I called it a nut, it actually is a seed from further reading (hey, I'm just a dumb American....). sounds interesting

        May be a little more expensive in US but here , near
        the himalaya , it is unknown & rare too !!
        I hope it would be useful , ( but at least is energizer for body ).
