Fatparrot,
I've recommended this method earlier, but it bears repeating, you would really be doing yourself a favor by going the Promethean route.
The resolution gains available with the Promethean are absolutely stunning. I would not bother repeating myself if this isolation solution were not truly "crazy" good. Here are some specifics.
I was tweaking my digital platform tonight and it just reinforced how good these Promethean Bases actually are.
Components pieces listed from floor upward:
(deviations from standard Promethean configuration are noted in parentheses)
1) Ganymede VCS roller bearings on hardwood floor (Machina Dynamica recommends Super DH Cones/DH Squares in this position)
2) 1" Maple shelf
3) Machina Dynamica springs
4) 1" Maple shelf with Tekna-Sonic C-5 damper on bottom side
5) Super DH Cones/DH Squares
6) DAC - good performance was had without DH Cones/DH Squares as well
7) Mapleshade IsoBlocks (Machina Dynamica recommends DH Cones/DH Squares in this position)
8) Transport
I was impressed with the Prometheans in standard configuration, but I am floored by the modified version I tried this evening. It was hard to believe that there was that much more information available inside my digital discs.
I didn't have enough roller bearings to try this on my amp stands, but after my experience this evening I will acquire more and give it a try.
BTW, I realize your application is on carpet. You could try these atop your Symposium or some other shelf placed on the carpet. FYI, my platforms are the 16"X19" model.
