The most noticeable improvement came from putting an extra one of the black inner MDF shelves I had between the CDP and the top shelf. I placed this on 3 hard sorbothane pucks(not the squishy ones), there are no footers currently b/t the CDP the MDF. Whenever I get the time I may do some juggling with the CDP "inside", and look into shelf materials. From what I've read, MDF is really not the ideal material. The point being, this has been a half-baked and very premilinary starting point - but the sound is very liveable. Tone is good, soundstage is good, and transparency is improving. I've heard moderately tweaked out set-ups(Solidsteel,BDR, symposium,) that were definetly better and I've heard overly-complicated/expensive set-ups where the results were way too "hifi"(read:sterile) for my tastes. I won't comment on whether this will work with your table as that's a different ballgame. Again, If you search the "isolation/footers" threads I think you'll see there are some real specialists(far more than me) in this area. While I'm at, i'll also say that getting the shelves level is a pain is the ass, but doable.
Salamander Synergy Rack Experiences?
I am considering purchasing the Salamander Synergy Rack for my large audio system. These are among the best looking racks out there and have vented doors available to keep 1yr olds fingers out. However, even though they are great looking, I have some reservations as to the "Audio Qualities" of the rack. They use MDF supported by Aluminum Extrusion. My first guess would be that this sux for audio, but I'm looking to the group for their experiences. I'm also considering putting some nice matching doors on some of the dead quiet Zoethecus stands, but that would cost about 3-4X as much.
