Isolation /platform for TW Raven One


the wait is killing me but i should have by Raven One soon.
While reading the different forums I would like to get to more better about the different isolation platforms Raven One owners have used for this TT ?
I personally would probably start out putting the Raven under a wooden cabinet made out of MDF.
How about you guys ? whats been the experience ?

Stiltskin, My memory of the Townsend was a painful one. I do not have a Raven so maybe it simply hated my sprung Kuzma Stabi Reference. For me, it ranks in the top 3 worst hi-fi purchases I made in 38 years in the hobby. My recollection of it some 12 or so years ago was that it over damped. The sound was better without it and I ended up tossing it. The Vibraplane on the other hand was excellent, but is ridiculously over priced when compared to the old pricing for non Vibraplane badged items sold to the scientific community. It is a great product but unfortunately an example of the rip-off pricing we enjoy in hi-fi.
Essentialaudio, Thanks for the thoughts. The Vibrablane is "non rigid" too. I also put some electronics on the Sink and also found them over damped. History for me.
