HAL-O, Isolation platforms, and tube cd players

I have just installed HAL-O tube dampeners in my Jolida JD 100 which sports GE 5751 triple black plate tubes, and I believe I am finally attaining the emotional sound I have been looking for in my system. I was always yearning for more decay and transparency. I have it now in spades! These are the largest and least expensive improvement I have made to my system in months. Only $10 each.

Anyone out there also using an isolation platform or "Aurio's" or some other isolation points under their digital equipment in conjunction with tube dampeners in their digital setup?

In general, "Can a guy isolate gear too much?" What is the point of diminishing returns? the source component? or the amp, preamp? I run passive preamp, solid state amp.

Thanks!

Hey Y'all,

I also use the Hal-Os and I have my CDP on Audio Points. Both of these upgrades on there own were significant improvements in the sound. Together, they have taken my system to a new level of performance. The discriptions that Brimac used for the effects of his iso combo are very similar to what I've noticed with the Hal-O/Audio Points set up.........John
