Isolation footers for Rotel RCD-1072


Do any of you Rotel RCD-1072 owners out there have any experience with brass (or other) isolation footers under the deck. If, so, did you remove the original feet ? Where did you place the new footers ? Noticeable MUSICAL improvements ? Let me hear your thoughts. Thanks, and Happy Listening !

I think it's impossible to generalize about the effect of any isolation device, since the result is dependent on what it's sitting on to begin with and the particular vibration it's affected by in your environment. Not to mention personal taste. IMO, it's all trial and error.

While I was never a Vibrapod fan, I have had some luck using a Vibrapod "sandwich" under a CD player. You purchase a 18 x 14 piece of wood or Corian and place 8 Vibrapods around the perimeter, leaving the center unsupported. Then, just place your CD player on the shelf. Also works very well under some turntables and tube amps, so it might be worthwhile to invest, as you can try it under your various components.
