Best Isolation Platform with Audio Aero Prestige

Metralla,

I did direct comparisons with the Vibraplane , Black Diamond , Sistrum , Symposium Ultra , and SRA . I chose to represent Critical Mass for my company based on its performance alone .

Mike,

I do not know Will , nor do I know his thoughts. We looked very carefullly at his wording in the review and came to this conclusion based on these lines :

"......I decided it was time to try out the Grand Master I had purchased to go under my turntable in its intended application. At first I had planned to move the Micro 40 back under my universal player, but after pulling it out from under the turntable to install the Grand Master I got lazy and decided "what the heck, I'll put it under my preamp instead," just temporarily.

Much to my surprise, I ended up preferring this configuration. Although this is most probably not where I would have ended up without the Grand Master platforms to go under my source components, this configuration provided the best overall performance for the whole system.

If we are not understanding his meaning then it is an honest mistake.

Brent,

first; i was not in any way suggesting that you intended to mislead; i know you are not that way. your credibility with me is beyond reproach.

i was simply pointing out that Will never says specifically that the Critical Mass bettered the Halcyonics on the tt. his only written comment was related to whole system performance with what was at hand.

also; what he may have said verbally to you or Critical Mass may have been in conflict with what he said to me.....i have no way of knowing about that.

best regards,

Mike ,

As far as I am concerned , I know of no one with more credibility than you and your words have much weight and respect with me .

I indeed see your point and I appreciate your efforts to help me understand and appreciate this issue with semantics that is the source of misunderstanding .

Rhetoric aside , have you tried the Critical Mass Grand Master black label platforms in your own system ? I would then welcome your opinions positive or negative.

This thread isn't about me. Please answer the question.

I am very happy using the Silent Running Audio atop the Grand Prix Audio Monaco rack but more importantly using stellar footers instead of the stock BDR cones. I am using the Black Ravioli footers imported from Globe Audio Marketing with 3 HRS damping plates atop the unit. The footers are made in Germany and produce a much blacker background and decay within the soundstage...a true must if you own this player. If anyone has tired them all then give us a review.
