I also have equipment hidden in a Drexel Heritage wall unit achieve a low WAF. Together with suspended floors it is not optimal with regard to vibration. However, while expensive, I have had much success and improved SQ with judicious attention to vibration control. Tried some low cost products like Vibrapods with some improvement. Noticeable improvement was realized with Symposium Shelves in combination with Roller Block Jrs. Improvement was signing on front end digital equipment and less so as you go down the path to the amplifier. Expensive but worth it in my opinion. If you cannot spring for the shelves, then you can just add the blocks, but together they work best. The usual improvements will be realized - quieter/blacker background resulting in a more relaxed presentation, better detail retrieval, better imaging and staging, and more natural timbre.
vibration control - cd player
Hi all-
I've got a new Hegel Viking cd player here which is quite nice. At the moment, it's sitting inside an Ikea cabinet. The feet have a sort of small isonodes rubber piece. Is that sufficient? Do I eventually want to invest in something like a Harmonic Resolutions platform? Or the little EVP squares? Or something else? (A real audio stand is not an option in my very small room.)
Thanks for any advice.
Margot
