Vibrapods for my Scout
Is it good idea to put vibrapods under my Scout feet? I don't have the original pointed feet anymore as it has the HRX feet now.

I find that the hex fewer provide all the isolation you need and suspect the vibrators because of their elasticity will not keep you turntable leveled because the weight of the turntable is not distributed evenly.

What would be recommended for my VPI Scout then?

Maplewood butcher block. Do you have feedback problems now?

In this case why change? The VPI feet provide excellent isolation. You can gain a small improvement if you place a maple butcher block under the table not the improvement is not that big. All this assumes you have it standing on a stable platform.

ronenash, what so special about maple butcher block, does it somehow absorb vibration?

Yes and it also adds weight and stability to the setup. Not dramatic improvement but improvement nevertheless.
