Best Isolation Platform with Audio Aero Prestige

Brainwater, all I can say about your characterization about Will Wright's review of the Halcyonics is that I think you mischaracterize it. He concludes, "Passive isolation platforms (like the CMS and Minus K) may get you 90 percent of the way there at a quarter the price, but if you want the full enchilada you'll just have to pony up."

I have heard neither of the passive units, but own Neuance and Acapella shelves and have extensively compared them with the Halcyonics. If you are really looking for the best buy, the Neuance is what you want. The Acapella is clearly superior to the Neuance. But the Halcyonics stands alone IMHO.

Brainwater, yes it is publicly available. My quote is from his conclusion. This review is somewhat curiously contradictory. As I said, initially I dismissed his suggestion that you could use two components on a single Halcyonics as contrary to my initial experience. More recently I agree with regards to the Accustic Arts dac and drive one.

Until Clement Perry of StereoTimes strongly encouraged me to try an Halcyonic under my amp, I had only used my two under source components. Since I first put one of my two under my amp, it has stayed there and my turntable returned to the Acapella base.
