Harmonic Resolution Systems (HRS) Platforms


Folks,

I am having trouble justifying another $7,000 for the lowest priced HRS frame, to accommodate my expensive M3x Harmonic Resolution Systems platforms.......around $2,500 each. 

While I understand that the frame and the platforms work as a "system," I currently place the M3x platforms and nimbus couplers, on a low-cost salamander rack......with decent results.

Has anyone had good results using HRS platforms on a high quality solid wood rack......walnut for example?

This would save me about $4,000 if it works.

Thanks in advance for the advice.

Don't let the low price fool you. The Lak tables are very sturdy and really perform way above their price point. They are also quite decor/ WAF friendly. I should also mention that I use the HRS dampening plates on top of my Amp, Pre and Sacd/CD player. I also find that the Nordost sort cones and Sort Fut work well in addition to 2" thick maple bases and Mapleshade brass heavy feet.
Why not Timbernation racks? Made from solid hards woods and can be customized to fit your needs. 

Hi Randy-11,

By placing the HRS platforms on a wood surface that is intended to "resonate" versus "isolate," the midrange sounded as though it had a film covering it.

That is why I'm trying to determine if a solid wood surface, like the one that maxboy00 suggests, will solve this issue.

From what I've been researching, it seems that maple and mahogany are the preferred hardwoods for isolation.

Is there a turntable involved?  A system description would allow your question to be placed in better context. Otherwise, the mystery will continue.
mdf will absorb some vibrations

best thing is to put the turntable (and pre-pre amp) in another room behind your preamp & amp

the maple thing is not supported with any sort of scientific studies...
