Is it best to isolate??


Just picked up a Audio Research cd7 and I whould like to get the most out of this player!Does isolating cd players really make a difference?I was thinking of the symposium rollerblocks with the titanium bearings under this player.I have heard that sometimes you can overdamping components and I don't want that to be the case.I'm using a Michael Green rack that is built like a tank already...

"Also, I prefer to keep my components low to the floor rather than high up on elevated stands to minimize impact of vinrations trans mitted through the floor. MY stuff sits on a $30 (second hand) 80 pound heavy solid oak coffee table/bench that itself sits on a solid concrete floor/foundation. "

Bingo!

All my main components are on a wood floor or very close to wood floor placed on high mass wood cabinet/bases. All my power supplies and components are at least 4 ft away from each other not to have EM field interaction. Especially pre-amps/phonos away from DAC/power supplies. It may not look pretty stuff spread out or impressive but gets the job done.
