What's under YOUR CD player?

Subaruguru, How do you have the Neuance shelf supported on the audio rack and what other supports, if any, are you using? I use the points that were included threaded into a thick maple shelf to support the Neuance shelf near the corners. I started with the stock feet on the cdp and after trying a few other supports I'm back with the stock feet. This shelf is the best isolation device I have tried and I plan to get one for my amp also when it becomes available. I have not tried the DH Labs cones with the Neuance and was curious if anyone else has had a good experience adding those or other footers.

My equipment sits atop Neuance platforms, which are of the newer design conceived for a broader range of applications. This solution enabled me to use my non-audio grade furniture and get uncompromised performance.

In my system, the new design is implemented in a “groupings” arrangement (i.e. components are grouped to share platforms - three total). The increased energy absorbtion capacity allows this. And, multiple platforms helps to maintain a reasonably low mass per platform and eliminates any potential transfer from the “noisier” components. Speak to Ken Lyon/Greater Ranges, much of the preceeding statements are from him.

I have had the platforms for only about a month and have been trying different things to separate them from my plate glass shelves. Ken Lyon feels that any small, hard footer will work. I am using Aurios 1.0s in contact with the underside of the Neuance atop the points of BDR mk4s, with the flat base on top of the glass shelf.

I can not believe that this can get any better.

Yup, I'm letting my Neuance that's INSIDE my Arts & Crafts HEAVY cabinet sit on upturned threaded spikes that are screwed through the shelf. Howver, for the EMC-1 ON TOP of the cabinet my wife didn't dare let me drill holes, so small upturned cones do well.
As Ken says, "any small hard footer will do". The issue here is just to isolate the Neuance from its "base" with rigidity and low surface area. Even thumbtacks (the big ones!) should be fine! Have fun. Ern

Mine rests on a 3" thick slab of berylium which floats in a vat (a welded-up construction made of unobtainium) of mercury that is suspended from the ceiling (I hate footfall effects!). It works great, but it's a real bitch every time I have to relocate.

I'm aware of the possible toxic side effects, but figure we've all gotta sacrifice for that last little bit of detail, PRAT, glorious mid-range, imaging/soundstage, and all of the other buzzwords du jour.
