HiFi isolation platforms

[EYEREX]

Just wondered if anyone's dabbled with isolation platforms for there HiFi ?

I know you can pay silly money for platforms so i just normally use MDF covered in black sticky back plastic (to many years of watching Blue Peter) sitting on Sorbothane but today i got a lump of marble to use under my Rega RP1

Some say not to use Marble as it rings but it's dead as a dodo when used with Sorbothane plus there's a bit of a buzz to use bamboo these days as people say a more lightweight platform is the way to go but just spent a few hours listening to my Rega RP1 and can't say if Marble adds or takes away anything from the music but it sure does look pretty

PS going to let the Marble run in for a few days to see if it hits it's sweet spot

Slightly off topic, but that's a couple of lovely looking decks.
I do wonder at times how my present digital source would compare against. Last time I tried a deck at home, it was a fairly cheap unit, probably comparable to a P3. My digital source was a good deal better. All the same, I know that some decks are a huge step on from a P3.
How do you think your vinyl rigs measure up?

I live in the budget end of HiFi with my Rega RP1 record player and my digital setup which is a Raspberry Pi3 Squeezebox with a Meridian Explorer 2 DAC feeding a Yamaha AS500 amp plus JPW speakers and i love listening to both but like all music you get some really bad sounding vinyl and FLAC files but get some really good music and from budget to high-end HiFi they will sing and keep your ears happy
