Monaco TT with Halcyonics


I was wondering if anyone was using one of the Halcyonics active vibration control devices with their Monaco TT. This question is specific to the Monaco as I know others have used the Halcyonics to good effect with other TT's. I have no obvious vibration issues which appear to be affecting the performance of the Monaco but vibration will be getting through and its minimization may indeed have a sonic benefit. A lot of money to spend on a hunch that it may do something and an improvement with this TT may be very subtle so if anyone has experience positive or negative I would be pleased to hear it.

having heard the Halcyonics in my system (under a digital transport and under a preamp) my guess is that 'ANY' piece of audio gear will likely be improved with the decoupling of the Halcyonics. it is possible that the character of the sound could change in a way that some other rack might be more pleasing depending on taste.

what does distortion sound like?

you have no idea until it's gone (not that some distortion may not be pleasing as it can hide other things).

i certainly have high regard for Grand Prix Audio and their approach to dealing with rack design....as i own and enjoy about $15k worth of them in my system. OTOH they are toys compared to the Halcyonics.

a turntable is the ideal thing to benefit from the Halcyonics.....and at some point i'll have one under my Dobbins Garrard and/or Dobbins Technics.
