Attn: Altmann Attraction DAC users


I've been living very happily with the Altmann DAC for two years now. I've experimented with various forms of isolation and weighting, but I kept coming back to bare wood footers on a bare 2" solid maple Mapleshade rack, no weight added.

Today I had an inspiration. I took the 1/8 rubber mat off my turntable and placed it on the Mapleshade and the DAC on top of it. I weighed the DAC down with a couple of lead-shot weights. The improvement is dramatic. Incredibly tight presentation, lifelike timber, spacious, instruments placed clearly in the space in front of me. Oh heavenly choir!

YMMV depending on the resolution of your system.
