Opinions: Neuance Shelf for Linn Sondek Lp12 TT

I received my Nueance platform that I ordered some time ago. It was sized to my Naim cdp, but it wasn't right for my system. The image was fuzzy and not clearly defined, bass was not as tight, and the pace seemed slower. I did a hardcore A/B between Aurios Pro's and the Nueance. The pro's proved to be superior in my system.
I am not dissing the Nueance, but again, it just wasn't right for my system.

Rex, it sat with cdp on it for a week before I gave it a listen.

I ordered a Nueance platform for my cdp about 3 weeks ago. Ken was very responsive to my e-mails and spent about 75 minutes on the phone with me also. He has not taken any time off in quite awhile and told me he was going to take a couple of much needed vacation days, perhaps that's why you are not hearing from him. I'm not really a TT guy, but I did recently install my old Yamaha tt in my garage rig, which just happens to be wall mounted on a cheapo Home Depot shelf. The vibrations it was picking up were unbearable. So I threw a set of Daruma III's under it and it is mucho improved, albeit a little wobbly.
Just thought I'd throw that out there.

I'm doing the same thing, putting one under my cdp as a beta test. If it's good to go I'll probably put one under my preamp. If it doesn't work for me, up for sale it will go. The last one I saw for sale here sold the first day. At $190, it's hard to go wrong. I should be receiving mine around mid August, I will post an evaluation here after it's been in my system for awhile.

Drubin, I am aware of the different level's of shelves. I am going with an "A" platform
which is 1 5/8" thick, supports up to 30lbs. and is sized to my specs to fit my cdp.
This is a platform, not a shelf, similar to a slab of b.b. which will then sit on a glass shelf.

Foster, I put little rubber footers on the bottom of the platform (like the one's one would put on the bottom of a remote control) per Ken's direction as the Nueance sat on a glass shelf. And ken said any iso device between component and Nueance would negate the benefits of the Nueance itself, but iso device under Nueance would be okay to do.
But Aurios and Nueance together would have been too tall for my rack, so I didn't try that combo. And relocating my cdp is not an option for me right now.
Again, I'm not saying the Nueance was a poor iso device, it just didn't work for me in my system.
Perhaps I should have given it more time...
