Isolation Platform - to be or not to be for CDP?


Right now, I am restricted to a fairly sturdy all wood cabinet to house my equipment. I was considering a custom mapleshade 2" platform to be supported by metal inserts or dowels to go under my CDP. Is this a worthwhile (~$200) investment given the type of cabinet. Eventually I will go to a better rack but that is probably at least several months out on the horizon. Any advice, as always, is greatly appreciated.

May I suggest a quick and cheap solution? Diyumas or RollerPlates... easy to build and cost effective. For the Diyumas you will need just 3 ( http://store1.yimg.com/I/myknobs_1823_85185837 ) concave door knobs from this page http://www.myknobs.com/conbrigfin.html. They are found on Home Depot ( the ones without the center dimple). You also need 3 copper end cops ( or caps ), sand to fill the caps/cops , Krazy Glue and 3 steal bearings about 1/2" to 3/4" diameter. If you decided for the Roller Plates, just have two pieces of wood around 16" x 14" x 3/4" . Get 6 convave knobs and mirror image three on each board. After having the knobs attached, put 3 bearing balls in between and you are done.

It is easy, affordable, effective and fun to work with.

If you need help, just send me an e-mail. I will be glad to assist you. BTW, it cost less than the $10 for the Diyumas and about $15.00 to $20.00 for the RP's.

Happy Holidays,

Jose.
