And when you factor in the havoc that is being wreaked on the rest of your components with this behemoth, you can imagine what the end result is. Do yourself a favor and buy a decent equipment stand before you go playing around any more with isolation devices. Oz

I had my CD transport and D/A on an entertainment unit, and was amazed when I tried them on my wall-mounted turntable stand; the sound was much cleaner, and with more detail all through the spectrum. Out went the entertainment unit; I bought some Atlantis Symphony 1 stands, replacing the supplied MDF shelf (sounds horrible) with plywood. Unfortunately Atlantis no longer make that stand; instead they make something with an integral MDF shelf.
