ISOLATION: HRS,SYMPOSIUM,SRA,ZOETHECUS??



Hello,
I use a non audiophile rack for the looks!
Will isolation still make a difference?

I have NAGRA VPA's and EMM DCC2 CDSD that I wish to isolate.

Any sugsestion as to what to use, please?

A high quality rack can make a difference in bass extension and impact, soundstage width, imaging precision, treble purity, upper bass bloat, etc. Unfortunately, like cables there is a lot a mumbo jumbo fast talk about what constitutes a good rack design. Some of the most effective racks have radically different designs and it is virtually impossible to really compare one design with another. In addition to the brands you've mentioned I would suggest you check out Gran Prix, Pagode, Solid Steel, Mapleshade and Sistrum.
Check out the Sistrum racks from Star Sound Technologies, http://www.audiopoints.com/multiplatformsb.HTML.

They perform extremely well and look good too. My wife actually likes it. She can't stand my THICK cables or anything else about the stereo, but likes the rack.
