  Best Isolation HRS? SRA? Zoethecus? Symposium?
I'm using a non audiophile rack for my system because it goes with the decor. Will an isolation device still make a difference. If so which one please?

Guess my last post was denied by Audigon, I'll try and rephrase. First I thanked David for his post and do appreciate that not everyone can afford, or think a $5000 isolation device is worth the funds. We do make the passive version at $1850 which is sonically identical to the active version except without the compressor. The active is more convenient and that's it. Once someone hears what the VP actually does they usually buy a 2nd or 3rd unit, we actually have a customer who now owns 13 units in one system! A world record I would think. Our US government just purchased another 8 active units. (Thank you Uncle Sam). So I do respect and understand these expensive devices are not for everyone, neither is the $8000 unit Norm has talked about, one that we also sell but even I don't think it's worth the extra $$$ over the standard VP.
A very Happy and SOUND New Year to all.
