looking for best isolation platform for CD player

We've had good success with the Acapella Fondato Silenzio platform and the HRS (Harmonic Resolution Systems) Isolation Base (we carry both of these), Damping Plates and Nimbus feet. Others we have not had such good success with.

Some vibration control solutions just seem to work in certain specific situations (what equipment racks you are using, what kind of floor and floor foundation you have, what components are you using them with, etc.) and others seem to work across many different situations.

Many have negative side-effects (usually reduction in PRaT and micro-dynamics, resulting in compression of the sound and hardening of the mid-range). To some extent, you will just have to try a few solutions and see what works best for you.

Enjoy!

Well stated, as usual, Tom. That's why I did not go there. I knew you were out there. Tom is dead on Proyster. Couple to mother earth and your system will be free. Free of those nasty microphonous meanies. How, (with isolation), can you isolate your cdp from those, very, inherent, resonances found in your cdp/disc drive)? You can't! By coupling, with the Sistrum System, all those little evil nasties, have a place to go. peace, warren

Neuance is the best I have tried to date after several other devices which produced some benefit but not the overall improvement the shelf has made.

i tried as a platform (under my cd players burmester969,C.E.C tl-0 mk2,metronome Kalista) vibraplane,symposium,polycrstal,hrs,acapella.(any many different spikes,rollerblocks,Q damper.....).i think platforms (like a cables)depends your system and your taste.
i prefer symposium,polycrstal and acapella over vibraplane and hrs.
also shunmook Mpingo disc was wonderfull on burmester 969
Now i will try grandprix monaco

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 have never truly experienced what is already yours..Tom
