VPI Aries owners

after auditioning many expensive iso platforms I am using 2 bicycle tubes partially inflated beneath a piece of wood (a leftover cherry shelf from a salomander rack). it outperforms many and matches the better platforms.

Sknnyc,

Thanks for the idea. Do you know any used scientific supplies store in NY area?

That's part of the design for the custome made stand made for me.....a special tire called "Isobase" (I believe). This along with some interesting things (absolutely no spikes!!!!!) make a wonderful isolation system.

P.S. To all who e-mailed me, I sent your e-mail to the designer with hope he will contact you all.

I use the Black diamond Racing pucks package made for the Aries table and motor.

Hi Sid,

I've heard all kinds of devices that go under shelves and different types of shelves. Most of them are subtle differences. I was totally blown away by what I heard, when I put my VPI Aries on a Neuance shelf.

I do have a butcher block sitting between my rack and Neuance shelf. The reason I did that, was that I preferred to level the table by putting stuff under the maple butcher block instead of adjusting the legs on the Aries.

Here's a fairly recent picture, before I added my SDS.

Have a great day,
