Isolation device under Ayre CX-7e?

Last night, i tried several tweaks and here is what i did:
1> Ayre cx-7e on Tenderfoot which is on top of maple wood. Sounds ok.
2> The same as item 1 above , but i also put 4 grungebuster dots (http://herbiesaudiolab.home.att.net/gb.htm) under the maple wood. The soundstage is really big, but not smooth, especially vocal. I get tired of listening after 5 min. Also, bass is louder but boomy.

3> I put the integrated amp on top of maple wood which is on top of Grungebuster dots. CDP is on Tenderfoot which rests on the shelf (MDF). The sound is smooth as i like, but the soundstage is a bit smaller. Basically , the whole thing with this setup is coherent and balanced.

I guess i will try Myrtle block to see what happen. I don't know much about the theory behind all of this ,but isolating the integrated amp somehow makes improvement.

I had the Arye Cx 7 e home for tre days, after a short while i got tired too, I moved it around, on the carpet, on sorbortane feet, diffent cables, power leed, at last I gave it back to the dealer. Thinks the problem is that the transport is cheap (computer transport), its alu that the case is made off, No absorbing of noise (look inside). Use my Stax elektrostatic earphone, the problem whas here to, It whas the player not my set up, use power leed and cables, and diffent feet too. Dit not help at all.

Kindy regarts

I used to own Arcam FMJ CD33. Honestly, the arcam sounds more musical and smooth, or tube like. Then I switched to Ayre CX-7e. Ayre is more details, but not the way i really like. However, the CX-7e mates very well with my Totem Forrest speaker.

By the way, i put 3 myrtle blocks under CX-7e. Bass is tighter and tighter. Mid range is smoother, but the high is kind of edgy...or , if not saying harsh sometime.

I guess it may be affected by the way i put my integrated amp on top of maple platform which rests on the MDF shelf.

I know there are many factors may affect the sound and keep tweakling is getting tired...

Hej!

That why i send it back to the dealer, the hign whas edgy, or harsh sometimes, talk to Arye said that it cut be the player, or i shut use Myrtel books, or it whas not "burn in" it was, it was the demo use in set op for the dealer round the world, or it dosent fit in the set op.
