Dupont Corian for Isolation


Hello, just wondering how Corian compares to MDF and other isolation materials. I am currently using a sandbox platform for my amps and pre and BDR #3's for the CDP. Which would benefit from more isolation? Thanks

When asked for TT shelf recommendations, Mike at VPI suggested that I place my turntable on top of a Corian shelf, the shelf then resting upon a flat sheet of bubble wrap (packing material). I haven't tried this yet, but I might. My present isolation base setup is "a bit" more elaborate & expensive than that, but it's worth a try esp. considering the simplicity & low cost.
Jp: Mike didn't say which bubble size to use & I didn't think to ask. It might not make much difference; try them both if you're so inclined & please report back if you preferred one. vs. the other.
Hi Joe: good point you have there. The smaller bubble size would hardly be noticable underneath the shelf.

So Eric you're back to #3's under the EAD now? I gonna try some titanium cones just for grins; still using #4's at the moment.
