Any comments on Symposium Svelte Shelf?

Hi everyone,
My girlfriend just bought me a symposium svelte shelf (don't ask why, I don't know). I took a look in previous threads on Agon and I only could find 1 or 2 msgs stating that the svelte shelf was worse than having no platform at all... I'm hesitant to open it (still sealed).

Does anyone have comments or experience with this shelf. I use a Sim Audio Eclipse CD player with some YBA amplification...

What should I expect when using the Svelte shelf under my CD? Right now I'm using a custom made MDF rack. The cd player sit on a 2 inch thick sycamore wood slab (one piece, 20X20).

Thanks for the inputs...

To make any component sound better seek out a Sistrum platform or better yet their complete rack. They let you, for the first time hear your system under real dynamic conditions.

I have never liked the Sistrum platforms or rack, they are completely outclassed by the Symposium products. Unless of course you really like upper-midrange glare !?

If you use isolation devices in your system then you are only masking and dampening the glare that is stored in your components.
