Cheaper on AliExpress.  A few reviews aren't good, a couple say they are plastic not rubber!  But can you trust these reviews? 

The Whites anti-vibration rubbers (now called Jacks) from Bunnings have a following.  The same rubber can be bought off the roll at Clarke Rubber.   https://www.bunnings.com.au/jack-50-x-50-x-12mm-anti-vibration-squares-8-pack_p3961977

There is a foam sandwiched between rubber that is used in air conditioning that has had favourable audio reviews.   https://www.amazon.com.au/LBG-Products-Anti-Vibration-Conditioner-Compressors/dp/B08ZNB37XS/ref=asc_df_B08ZNB37XS/?tag=googleshopdsk-22&linkCode=df0&hvadid=712256405508&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=15964138441235248917&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9071462&hvtargid=pla-1332867400508&mcid=4d9cb5eebf1f38139fc425fe93293feb&gad_source=1&th=1

no idea whether they would work under components

There's only one way to find out Ray ... if they did nothing or had a negative impact you could always put them under your washing machine 🤣

Most of those types of devices work best in a specified range of loading.  Does you component have a similar weight to a washing machine?

as audiofeline above said they are plastic so i think they would be pretty useless i have stack audio under my amp and find they work well i also use the whites under speakers with good results .

Plastic is a general term, you can get plastic that feels like rubber.   The structured ones are designed to bend and remove vibrations when loaded correctly.  There were some audio targeted devices (isopods or something like that)  that you had to buy in a particular weight range.

 

Whites are great.  I even use them to stop the breadmaker walking off the kitchen bench.

I reckon my mono blocks probably do - I have the same trepidation whenever I consider moving them 🤣

take it from someone who learnt from a bad decision and moved a very heavy valve amp on my own i am still suffering from that dumb move,if you have to move or relocate any equipment that is way to heavy take my advice and get a mate to help, you your back will thank you in the long run.

I would even be skeptical of these working well under washing machines.

 

I tried both the different types of Whites squares under our front loading washing machine and each time it turned the machine into a dancer, where it would walk the floor. Although they are good at isolating in my hifi system.

I used the Whites/Jack rubber pads under my speakers, and they improved the sound.  Replaced them with spikes, for better improvement.  Replaced them with Gaia feet (at the correct weight rating) for a massive improvement in sound.

Ray,

        Have a look in the TWEAKS Classifieds and in particular the ARYA AUDIO LABS "Revopods"being sold by Aussiemick. They are very high quality isolation designs and the pricing is very good. If you decide to use Bunnings White pads great.....even worse would be Ali Express as its destroying the Aussie Audio industry and flogs cheap Chinese crap!

       I'm currently changing my isolation devices to Stack Audio (UK) isolation devices....very good quality and they do affect the sonics of my system...positively.
