I swear by Symposium rollerblocks, most especially under digital. My new cdp has BDR cones affixed to the chassis, but will soon try a Symposium shelf of some kind resting on rollerblocks as a base for it. If prior experiences are anything to go by, lower frequencies should get more definition and power, mids will smooth out some and be more dynamic, new details will float out of the mix, and the soundstage should expand and become more focussed. Marble slabs sitting on superballs worked for me as well.
HAL-O, Isolation platforms, and tube cd players
I have just installed HAL-O tube dampeners in my Jolida JD 100 which sports GE 5751 triple black plate tubes, and I believe I am finally attaining the emotional sound I have been looking for in my system. I was always yearning for more decay and transparency. I have it now in spades! These are the largest and least expensive improvement I have made to my system in months. Only $10 each.
Anyone out there also using an isolation platform or "Aurio's" or some other isolation points under their digital equipment in conjunction with tube dampeners in their digital setup?
In general, "Can a guy isolate gear too much?" What is the point of diminishing returns? the source component? or the amp, preamp? I run passive preamp, solid state amp.
Thanks!
