Opinions: Neuance Shelf for Linn Sondek Lp12 TT


Let me start off by saying that I am using a wall mount system with steel points under the shelf. The shelf is nothing special, just laminated MDF. Problem is, I am getting some vibration in the shelf and I would imagine the table. Linn's Ivor Tiefenbrun recommends a rigged and light weight shelf. A Neuance shelf appears to fit the bill, rigged, light weight, inexpensive, and has some good review. Other than that I know little about Neuance by Greater Ranges. What do you think?
And does anyone know what is up with Neuance? I have written them twice, days ago and still no response...

I was instructed by the maker to place a heavy weight on the platform for several days before setting it up. I used a lot of books.
I then placed it on my wooden stand. I used the screw in points (obviously face up). I then placed my SACD player on the platform.

Tighter everything and a lot more air.

(He also told me that some people who wanted possibly more detail could add the DH ceramic cones between the platform and the player. I bought them before I tried the platform, but decided that I was happy with the platform as is. I also didn't want to have my SACD player on the three points...less stability. I never even took the new cones out of the box.)

If the entire unit were triangular, then three would be more stable, but, since my SACD player is not inside a stand, any pressure to the unsupported corners would tilt the unit.
why would you apply any pressure to an unsupported corner? If the 3 cones are positioned in wide triangle it is very difficult (tho I admit not impossible) to tilt the unit. Maybe if you sat on it : -)
Foster, I put little rubber footers on the bottom of the platform (like the one's one would put on the bottom of a remote control) per Ken's direction as the Nueance sat on a glass shelf. And ken said any iso device between component and Nueance would negate the benefits of the Nueance itself, but iso device under Nueance would be okay to do.
But Aurios and Nueance together would have been too tall for my rack, so I didn't try that combo. And relocating my cdp is not an option for me right now.
Again, I'm not saying the Nueance was a poor iso device, it just didn't work for me in my system.
Perhaps I should have given it more time...
