looking for best isolation platform for CD player
Again and again to couple or to isolate/dampen? For me the answer has been cleared up by the use of coupling for several years now. Tom

Sean my brain fell out, I feel, in the correct time and phase alignment. My ears have followed my views. The results are 3d. Tom

Nrchy can the rack you are speaking of, isolate equipment from airborne as well as self induced electro-mechanical noise and vibration? If the answer is yes then how does this rack disapate said captured energy? If it is sitting on a absorbent sur...

Sean describe to Us your rack? Are you still using the high mass, high storage Michael Green rack? Or perhaps some new cosmic State of the Rack maybe consisting of exotic timber, lead shot and pneumatic hot air bags. Does It couple? Does It Isolat...

You will never find.. IT.. until you realize there is.. NO.. such thing as isolation.. Tom

Levitation platforms are not immune to airborne resonances or to self induced chassis resonances. All noise will be stuck within the chassis. No common ground plane, no way out...Tom 
Calling Thiel owners please...
The steel spikes sing a negative song but are better than no spikes..Not all Thiels accept the same shaft diameter.. The newer Thiels require a threaded shaft the older models are a smooth pressure fit..The Audiopoints will collect and dissipate t...

Your tuning with timber and the result is a change in timbre accuracy. All are storage devices with various time delays and resulting colorations. Recipe for a soup sandwich with the resulting stains being tainted with each added ingredient..You h...

Isolation is not possible so the platform you are in search of does not exist. Sistrum makes no claims of being an isolation platform. Sistrum effectively collects and then presents a high speed path for resonant energy to exit to ground. Electro-... 
Room Treatments added, with negative effects..
Nearfield listening is avoidance of the inherent in room acoustic problems and blinds the listener to the boundary limits of the recorded soundstage. Tom 
Subwoofer Question
Texasdave,I use a pair of Servo 15's and a pair of x30 crossovers rolled out at 50hz into a pair of still almost Dunlavy SC4's running full range. All my speakers are performing much better because I use Sistum platforms under them.. The servos re... 
Preamp Deal of the Century
Dynamic contrasts were missing from any of the several passive pre-amp or cd direct to amp systems I have heard over the years. Dynamic structure and texture along with the jump factor were never present in any of the previous mentioned systems. I... 
Snell kIIs - LOST All my imaging - help
I agree. Get rid of that large resonating defraction creating device between your speakers. And well, after that.... Step 2 and 3... Let us know the progress Tom

Absorption sucks... 
Monster Power conditioners. Anyone using one?
So Slap Man, its been a week now. Did you ever remove from and listen to your system without your so-called Monster Power Conditioner? Hello out there! Tom
