Isolation device under Ayre CX-7e?


Hi,
I was wondering if anyone places the isolation device such as Vibrapod or maple wood board under Ayre CX-7e? What's your opinion?

I put my CX-7e on top of a maple wood board and then on top of 4 Vibrapod last night. THe soundstage was bigger, but the high is kind of echoeing. When i took them out, then the sound is clearer but soundstage was smaller. I just want to get some opinions or suggestions from experts here.

Thanks for reading.

Check out musicdirect.com for the factory recommended Ayre Myrtle Wood Blocks. These are the Cardas (manufactured for Ayre) blocks which do the right thing to support your unit.
Otherwise, my default support recommendation is to check out Herbiesaudiolab.com for Tenderfeet, or Big Fat Black Dots, either of which represents a cost effective great support idea.
thanks.
I tried to place the cdp on top of maple wood which on top of my shelf (without Vibrapod). The sound was much better as i expected. Tighter bass, mid and high are clear. I think i will order stuffs from Herbiesaudiolab.com and place it under the maple wood to see what happens. THe cost is reasonable to me.

thanks.
Hey!

Ayre recomment:
Ayre Myrtle Wood Blocks

The Arye cd-player is heavy on the left side Ayre recomments to blocks under the tranformer (the heavy side)

Buy a gravestone put 3 sorbortane feet on it, to at front, one at the end and then put the Arye cd-player on it. The soundstage Will be very big, the dynamik too.

Take the led of it´s alu, it´s rings, buy sorbortane plates put them inside the led, sides, button.

Hvu, You can compare the use of Herbie's footers in two different ways, first directly between the Ayre CX-7e and your maple board base, and second under the maple wood base.
I think directly under the component can be the most neutral, allowing a component to be at its best.
Incidentally, I have found that placing one or more Cardas/Ayre Myrtle Wood Blocks on top of a component, especially the wooden plinth of a turntable, can fine tune the sound separately from the overall benefit of any footers.
With any support method, there can be an adjustment period of minutes to hours before the completed benefit, or effect, upon a component is audible. This endpoint is when there is a sense of ease or rightness to the sound, without any listener fatigue.
try sound fusion sound boosters. i reviewed this product on the website audiophilia.com . check the archive section.
