If I have access to a 18"x12"x3" block of granite for my CD player, would it be best to use spikes or can I keep using the vibrapods that I am using now ? Thanks in advance for any input.
There is liquid inside. Yes, they are saying very little for proprietary reasons, of course. And yes, they are the best passive shelf I have heard, adding great clarity and transient attack.
I have five big pieces of 3" granite in my storage room. It just has too high a resonance frequency. I found the best way to use it was with sand under it in a wood surround. Soft isolators just steal the dynamics of music. I have found that a base with multiple resonances is best. Or one with none such as the Halcyonic electronic base.
Guidocorona, were the Halcyonic to cost $2000 or less, I do not think anyone would sell anything else. Hopefully a less expensive unit will soon be available.
The best sandwich of materials isolation base I know of is the Acapella, which I use everywhere other than under the turntable and cd player.
