Anyone using an HRS platform with VPI Scoutmaster?


Hi. I am currently using a 3" thick maple butcher block platform under my Scoutmaster. The maple sits on the top shelf of my Atacama Audio Equinox rack, with small isolation pads between maple and the metal of the shelf , and is level. I think it sounds great, but I have never heard it with any other platform. I'm curious as to what effect an HRS or similar platform would have?

Thanks for your thoughts.

I have not tried anything else, but I did extensive reading, and selected the Vibraplane over the Minus K because leveling is easier. The other alternatives were out of my price range at over $10k. I have a manual Vibraplane which you inflate with a hand pump, then level. It takes 5 minutes every few weeks.

You might want to talk to the distributor, Steve Klein at Sounds of Silence.

I think there are two types of vibration devices. One like the Vibraplane and similar devices that shield from outside vibrations, and others like Stillpoints or Nordost Sortkones that drain vibration from the equipment.

i think the Vibraplane does an outstanding job at about the same price as an HRS platform.

Best regards,

Check out Symposium Acoustics. I use the Symposium Ultra under my Super Scoutmaster Ref. rim drive with excellent results.
Thanks Hiendmuse and Ebm. I have heard good things about Symposium. Here's a question: with my current setup, if I rap my knuckles against the plinth of the Scoutmaster with the volume at normal listening level, I hear absolutely nothing from the speakers. If this is the case, do I really need anything beyond what I have now? Thanks a lot.
