Isolation for power line conditioner?

The reason I emailed you on the side is because you expressed a desire to isolate (decouple) and I didn't want to change the flavor of your thread, but the seed has already been planted so: I use the Sistrum SP-1 under all my electronics, including my Audio Magic Eclipse. This is a much discussed, heated, archived topic: coupling vs decoupling(isolation). You'll find oodles of opinions. Coupling works (much easier to attain compared to decoupling) for me. Starsound Technologies has a money back guarentee. You got nothing to lose. I don't know, yet, of an audiophool returning them because they didn't deliver. peace, warren

Check out Vibrapods. Use the cones under your component and the pods under the MDF. You could also interchange the two. Be sure to get the right value Vibrapods for your project. See Vibrapod.com.

Thanks all for the input on the topic. When I used the word 'isolation', I suppose I was incorrectly using this as an umbrella term and was really looking for ideas on how to support the PLC, whether it be coupling or decoupling. And BTW, Warrren, I do appreciate the tips/info you passed along and I will say that I have looked at the Sistrum stuff in the past and have wavered on the edge of picking up one of the platforms here on Audiogon a couple times. Perhaps I'll take up Stehno's idea as a good starting point, and will seriously consider taking up Starsound's home audition offer as well. I've messed around with a few 'isolation' tweaks in the past and it's been rather interesting. I'm a pretty big fan of the Art-Q damper blocks to a degree that I simply consider them magical black squares...components of some strange alchemical process. I've got a Symposium platform under my amp that seems to work nicely, but with the consideration of the line conditioner as a passive unit (not even a buzzing transformer), I was a little stumped and looking for some direction.

I could be wrong, but I doubt adding isolation or coupling to your passive power line conditioner will have any effect on the sound of your system. I notice that of the above responses nobody has actually said it made a difference in their setups.

I have used Symposium Roller Blocks with Tungsten Balls under my Hydra and it does make an improvement. I have no idea why it does or why it should. I only know what I hear.
