Gingko Isolation platforms


Have any of you tried them? They look incredible, especially for the cost. Do any of you use isolation under your tube gear or TT?

LOL... I don't have buckets of anything, lol. I have used sorbothane pucks in the past on my tube gear and they worked well. Whenever I've tried home made vibration devices, I've lost bass or soundstaging etc.... I think that there is something to them tuning them to specific frequencies. Heck, I work with wood and can easily make a Mapleshade shelf and I may do that still for some other components.

Elizabeth, you don't find that you lose something by using the stoppers? Just curious. Thanks.
Honestly, I have an old small stand that I can use to put my TT out. That's why I am looking. I never use anything under my SS stuff to be honest. I have a good cabinet with decent wooden shelves that are fine. I need the platform for this small stand as the shelves are very thin particle board I bet. I'll check out that site you referred me to. I liked the technical data I saw on the Gingko and that's why I like it right now, plus they are used at my audio store I am using now. It doesn't get in the way of the bass and since the TT will be close to the speakers, I don't have a choice. I think there are lot's of choices and some look ridiculous and some are simple and probably do a good job.
Got the Cloud 11 from Gingko. It's what they are using at Audio Connection under all their tables and their set ups are stellar. Those of you who hang out there can vouch for that as John knows how to set stuff up to sound the best. I'm pretty excited as I ended up getting the Basis TT with Micro Benz Glider S too. ...oh and the Heed phono stage.... I'll be very very happy with this set up. The TT's I've heard on the Gingko in his store are top tables and played on Ayre and Vandy 5 and 7 and they sounded awesome. Everything you want in a table was there in spades. It just sounded right with a black background. Just what I want. Very happy.
