Opinions: Neuance Shelf for Linn Sondek Lp12 TT

Opps! big apologies to Ken for my mistake! His last name is Lyon with no 's'. Sorry

Yikes! I guess I can’t count my days or spell the word “rigid” either! Sorry

Hi Rfs,

It's pretty kewl,ain't it?
Thank you for sharing your observations.
I'm quite proud of my baby, so it's always nice to find that others appreciate it as well.
btw- what you have there is an Archi-dee wall support.Hang onto it- it's a keeper.

best,

Ken

Ok, So I finally got around to checking out the Neuance Platform under the Linn Ikemi CDP for an extended length of time. The first thing I noticed in seconds after starting up the CDP was the similarities between what the platform did for my Linn TT and now the deck, WoW nice. Previously the CDP was on a Black Diamond Racing shelf and I thought it sounded great and it did. The BDR shelf kept out most all the nastiness of vibration and did an excellent job. In contrast the Neuance sounds a little less black and reveals a bit better timbre and pace in the music I felt. It has a little bit lighter feel and I like it so well I will be ordering an additional platform soon.
The CDP application is different than that of the TT setup in that the platform ended up on four small Bright star Isonode feet on top of a solid teak cabinet. After trying numerous other things such as cones, spikes, and other footers this compo sounded best to my ears. IMHO the use of the Neuance Platforms is a no-brainer Ken is a very smart fellow and has sorted out a nice sounding versatile product here and again I will sing it a great praise.
Unfortunately, it will be a while until I can move the platform(s) under the Aesthetix Calypso and Rhea as I have just recently employed Aurios Classic Isolation Bearings underneath these chassis with excellent results (one could say I’m still getting my bearing with these, sound wise. Couldn’t resist!) and because like all good things the platforms take a while to manufacture as they are all precision made by Ken’s hands, so for now I’m done tweaking (well…fat chance of that). Happy listening!
