I had tremendous improvement in clarity and focus by putting a First Impression Music (FIM) isolation platform (2 pieces with ball bearings in between)under a Theta Jade CD transport. Very big difference! There is one available on Audiogon right now (no affiliation).
CD isolation platfroms
I'm considering an isolation platform for my Ayre C-5 XEmp. I recognize that my current equipment stand, the Salamander Designs S30, is far inferior to the more elborate equipment stands availabe but it compliments my Mac electronics quite nicely. The Ensemble Zobro isolation platform is at the top of my list but I'm looking for other suggestions/alternatives. Thanks in advance.
