BDR "The Shelf" Isolation platform

I have BDR source shelves under all my gear (TT, sacd, pre, power). Without question they greatly improve the overall coherance of the music with also a greater level of detail, depth and dimension. When you use a shelf or source always use cones down under to create an air space. Below the component point your BDR cones facing up with the tip in contact with the component. When doing this everthing has a more relaxed and open sound.

Note the shelf is good for lighter compoents under 40 lbs.

man i love bdr products,tried many cones and other squishy iso products.hard to beat for the money!!

Rello,
I just got a BDR source shelf with one set of mk.III and one set of mk.IV cones. Going to be used under a CD player, Electrocompaniet EMC-1UP. After reading your post should the layering look like this? CD player- one set of cones with tips pointed up-the shelf-one set of cones with tips pointed down -equiptment rack.

The cones should point towards the shelf and should mirror the arrangement of the opposite set. Trying to mix-n-matching Mk 3's and 4's can lead to a bout of A.N.

Coniferdave - you got it right. Note that you may need to experiment with location for the cones under the CDP.
Listen first with just the cdp sitting on the shelf with no cones then the cones on the shelf pointing up with the CDP on top.
