Best CDP isolation device you use?

I found the Clearaudio Magix to work very well. They are expensive, but when you consider they totally decouple the CDP via magnets from any floor/shelf born vibrations, it's probably worth it. You can also save money by not having to invest as heavily in specialty equipment racks or bases.

2nd on the nimbus. nothing else really compares

Good or bad I just installed a Sklan isolation platform under the titanium cones under my CDP and I'm blown away. The shelf was the best isolation device I have used or added so far. I have brass cones on most components with good results but this platform has added a dynamics to my system that I id not know I could get. My best tweak but then again every little bit helps. Usually.

I've tried BDR cones, Stillpoints and Feet of Silence under my DAC. The Feet of Silence made the most positive difference. The contrast with Stillpoints was instructive - using the Stillpoints the music lost its bloom, and sounded overdamped and constrained. The Feet of Silence let the music breathe mone freely. Frankly, the BDR cones made very little difference to the sound.

This is under an Audio Note DAC 4.1x Balanced, so I presume that the suspension provided by the Feet helped isolate the output tubes.

Greetings. After trying several DIY devices and tweaks, I end-up with a device I created and that basically is a "T" shape thing. I used 3/4" copper tubing (plumbing tubes) cut to size and attached with 4 "t" connectors. At the corners used 3 concave door knobs, filled the device with sand and put 3 ball bearings on top. It is like a Symposium Roller Blocks connected at each side. Maybe the bearings are what give the effect of clarifying everything and giving better soundstage. I also used a set of DIYUMAS ( my recipe) with good results but like it more the T-Bone Roller (as I named it).

Another tweak that drop my jaw, and Psychicanimal know it, was the effect of the "famous" tropical wood call ..MOCA...which the Psychic bring my home from a near place. Those suckers took whatever was affecting my system, call it vibration, moody things or else, and bring a clean sound to my system. The problem is that the wood is hard to find, needs a long cure time and it bends if not treated properly. BUT...what an experience by just seating it over or under the components.

Damp the inner parts of the lid too, it works.

Happy Holidays,
