Consider contacting Steve Herbelin at Herbie's Audio. He has a variety of footers/isolation devices and is great at diagnosing a situation and recommending the best solution.
Cd transport isolation
Out of curiosity does anyone have experience using different isolation products for transports? My CEC TL51x rests on 4 pieces of masterbase. But I have been thinking about trying out something different like Solid Tech feet of silence or Aurios Pro-Max. Now I’m a bit skeptical about isolation products in general. I haven’t tried without masterbase yet since I had them lying around.
So has one played around with different isolation products van transports or CD-players. Are those products any good? Or is the same investment better spend for isolation of the speaker.
I use a solidsteel H-6 audio rack. The shelves are made of MDF. The rack is very good for its price but I don’t like the looks of de MDF shelves. Can I replace them with “real” wood like maple or some other wood? Would that have an influence? Or doesn’t the material of the shelves have an influence on the sound?

03-14-10: Craig_hoch You seem to be suggesting that the mass loading combined with the footers on your transport is reducing vibration, which is probably true. However, the term jitter as it's used in audio to describe a phenomenon in digital playback, has nothing to do with mechanical vibration. Jitter is a term for electronic sampling errors.

I have mounted my Levinson 390S on four threaded and radiused Heavyfeet. It is as solid as a rock, and my days of bumping into the platform and causing skips, etc. are gone. I also use the radiused Heavyhat set on top. Improving the performance of a Levinson 390S is not easy - it is a fantastic piece of gear, but the Heavyfeet and the and the Heavyhats truly make a difference |
