Opinions: Neuance Shelf for Linn Sondek Lp12 TT

Let me start off by saying that I am using a wall mount system with steel points under the shelf. The shelf is nothing special, just laminated MDF. Problem is, I am getting some vibration in the shelf and I would imagine the table. Linn's Ivor Tiefenbrun recommends a rigged and light weight shelf. A Neuance shelf appears to fit the bill, rigged, light weight, inexpensive, and has some good review. Other than that I know little about Neuance by Greater Ranges. What do you think?
And does anyone know what is up with Neuance? I have written them twice, days ago and still no response...

I'm doing the same thing, putting one under my cdp as a beta test. If it's good to go I'll probably put one under my preamp. If it doesn't work for me, up for sale it will go. The last one I saw for sale here sold the first day. At $190, it's hard to go wrong. I should be receiving mine around mid August, I will post an evaluation here after it's been in my system for awhile.

Be aware that each shelf is custom made to match the dimensions of the rack or whatever you are putting it on and the weight of the component it's meant to support.

Drubin, I am aware of the different level's of shelves. I am going with an "A" platform
which is 1 5/8" thick, supports up to 30lbs. and is sized to my specs to fit my cdp.
This is a platform, not a shelf, similar to a slab of b.b. which will then sit on a glass shelf.

Thanks to all for the helpful comments. I have connected with Ken at Neuance and he is well rested and building a shelf for me and my Sondek Lp12 as we speak. I will follow up on this thread how things work out once it shows up and gets fitted. Enjoy!

I received my Nueance platform that I ordered some time ago. It was sized to my Naim cdp, but it wasn't right for my system. The image was fuzzy and not clearly defined, bass was not as tight, and the pace seemed slower. I did a hardcore A/B between Aurios Pro's and the Nueance. The pro's proved to be superior in my system.
I am not dissing the Nueance, but again, it just wasn't right for my system.
