I'm in the process of chopping a nice little DD deck:

Which is already much better since I removed the dodgy 'suspension' and
clamped it directly to a piece of, er, kitchen worktop - which has produced
a much richer and 'fatter' sound already, but I need some feet which will
work at least as well as (and look better than) two bath sponges and a
packet of Fusilli...??

Nick G has mentioned squash balls which, sitting in little wooden rings,
would work but I'm curious about wooden cones, which I can buy for a coupla
hundred quid or make for about 50p (still not decided...) - what I want to
know is which way up for best 'isolation' (energy dissipation) - points up
(from a concrete paving slab) or points down...??

Any Stress Engineers here? (Or I'll take the opinion of an ordinary engineer
who is at least a little bit wound up.... !! ;-)
