Good to hear. Especially since I get flack for recommending stuff like this for people with "modest" systems. But when I discovered BDR back around 1992 one of the first things I did was carry a set around trying them under all kinds of things.
As a result it has been clear to me for a very long time now that there really is no bottom line lower level for good tweaks like this. They work quite well even under really cheap gear, by which I mean the improvement is greater than you can get by spending the same money on a component upgrade. (To be clear yours is by no means cheap- or even modest- it is actually quite good!)
One of the really neat things about BDR is they are modular. That is you can start with Cones, then upgrade by adding Round Things that screw together with the Cones. Then add a Shelf.
Then something really interesting. Look at my current setup. https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/8367 Look close and you will see my Moab speakers are on Townshend Podiums, but with BDR Cones going into BDR Round Things on top, and with BDR Round Things under the Podium feet! You might think that since the Podiums are such great isolation that the BDR would make no difference. But it does! Same under my Melody tube amp. Real world experience uber alles! Vibration control is a complex and fascinating subject.
Also my turntable is made out of BDR Source Shelf. The Teres Audio motor pod is modified with a Source Shelf, Cones, and Mini-Pucks. The whole thing sits on a large Source Shelf. This is all on a massive 700 lb rack of solid concrete, sand, and granite. And yet for all that, when I put Townshend Pods between the Source Shelf and the granite they made a huge improvement!
Vibration control is mega! Which I guess I don’t need to tell you. Not now that you know from actual experience. Well done!
