Hi Subaruguru, I believe Jcbtubes is referring to my setup. Before I tried the Neuance I had used glass, maple, granite, marble, MDF, spikes, cones, sandbox, and all kinds of footers under my EMC-1. All of these would change the sound but I was never completely satisfied. Then I tried the Mana shelf with the Neuance Beta board with the EMC-1 feet on the Beta board. If you think the EMC-1 is good now, wait till you hear it on the Neuance. I believe Ken of Neuance can help you decide on a rack for the Beta. IMO the Neuance Beta is a must for the EMC-1.
Electrocompaniet EMC-1 support options?
Have just set up my new EMC-1 MkII on my now-undersized Neuance, and am unsure this now-awkward-looking (esp to my wife) balancing act is improved over the 3-point stock feet.
Do any of you EMC-1 owners believe that various shelves, footer, etc. iso/absorption devices have positively affected
this incredible player's presentation?
If the Neuance is still a go I'd suspect a larger Beta model (50 lbs) would outperform my older 25lb Neuance IV, but at least it's holding up ok!
EC goes to somw length to isolate the 18 lb transport module in this 44 lb player, claiming it's carefully voiced for the stock mechanical geometry. I'm not attracted to roller-blocks nor pace-robbing air suspension systems, especially with this 20 kilo rig, but wonder if other rigid means have proved beneficial.
Thanks for your help. Ernie
