looking for best isolation platform for CD player

Proy, may man, I am very confused. I think your choice to go with the Sistrum (for your amp) is great. Obviously you're going with coupling and not isolating. Why o why don't you want to do the same with your cdp? Much easier to couple than decouple(isolate.) Go with the Sistrum for your cdp, as well, and you'll be a very happy camper. Give Robert a call and get down. peace, warren

Well stated, as usual, Tom. That's why I did not go there. I knew you were out there. Tom is dead on Proyster. Couple to mother earth and your system will be free. Free of those nasty microphonous meanies. How, (with isolation), can you isolate your cdp from those, very, inherent, resonances found in your cdp/disc drive)? You can't! By coupling, with the Sistrum System, all those little evil nasties, have a place to go. peace, warren

I believe the deleterious effects of airborne resonances and internal resonances can best be handled with coupling. Percentages? I'm not going there. Don't have a clue. I do know that the very principles of dampening (decoupling) will store those very energies we're trying to dissipate. Measurable? Again, no clue. My system is coupled; right down to the speaker cables. Works for me. Also, as I've said before, it is a goal (coupling) that can be attained. Not a 100%, of course, but more than decoupling. Less (well, a little less?) expensive, as well. peace, warren

Anyone toying around with the idea of coupling? Does some of this make sense on paper? Hearing is believing, right? Get on the Starsound Technologies website if you dare. Read some of the white paper. Then, order yourself a platform. Just one for your cdp. Maybe two? Speak to Robert, first hand. He be da man over there. Smart, audio savvy, patient, low key and very patient. They have a FULL money back guarentee. Whattaya gots to lose? I was convinced. I'm coupled now. Hearing is always the deal. All you audiophoolish potential couplers know your systems intimately. Who better then yourselves, to hear if this coupling (jive?) is what Tom and I have been raving about. Try it. You'll thank us later. peace, warren

OK Joe, whattaya know? Set us free. I'm teachable.

amen. Let's put his baby to sleep. peace, warren

Tom, I agree with Sean. Hang with us in this audiophoolish "gon" world. Your honesty, pen and tongue are always welcome. You're a true power. You stand by what you believe in based on your tympanics. That's the real deal. Where everyone else goes with that doesn't matter. peace, warren
