You’re going to laugh, but when I had my OPPO 205, I found the sound improved significantly with a Vibrapod under each foot. Never heard them improve anything else, but it was a big difference on that player. About $25 for a set of 4. I think I used the #3. Go figure. I also liked the sound of those Nobsound springs under my CEC, but I didn’t like the way they looked. If you insist on spending more, I’m a big fan of Symposium svelte shelves. Good products and very elegant looking, which matters to me.
Ansuz Darkz resonance control footers
Anyone have advice for isolation and resonance control for my Oppo BDP105 primarily used as a transport.
I had the opportunity to try Ansuz Darkz T2S ($5100/set of 3). They were amazing, providing a much quieter background, more focus and all around musicality. So I am convinced big improvements are obtainable here but the price is out of reach. I also tried the Darkz C2T, much less expensive which were good.
I have been able to try Nordost Titanium Sort Kones and Stillpoints. These helped but not like the T2S
I would appreciate opinions from anyone for a similar application. Perhaps using Townshend or Voodoo Isopods?

@davejaz - I never tried any other footers under the OPPO other than the vibrapods. All I can say is that they worked amazingly well. Personally, I wouldn’t spend more on isolation than the component is worth. And I use the svelte shelf under my other components, but never tried one under the OPPO. |
@davejaz - I don’t know if this is what you meant in your last post, but I would not use the Symposium together with Vibrapods, as Symposium works with rigid coupling between the component and the shelf. One or the other. |
