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.

labpro, 

Please look into Core Audio Designs, you may not even need to keep the HRS platform.

Hi Lalitk,

As we know, there are 2 main approaches to audio racks......those that resonate and become part of the sound (box furniture) and those that isolate (SRA and HRS).

I did some research on Core, and my impression was that because it does not use "solid" hardwood, it would "resonate" versus isolate.

That's not to say that Core is not a terrific product.

I could be mistaken.

Thoughts?

the real issue is whether it will sit on a slab or a beam floor...

Hi Randy-11,

The rack will be placed on thin carpet, with wood flooring underneath.

I think I know what you are getting at. A concrete floor would be better.

IMO, absolutely no way to know whether you will prefer the sound. without a demo.  Any dealer selling racks at those prices should be able to demo the difference between a component with and without the benefit of the rack.  IMO, if I could not hear a profound difference in the demo, I would stay with what I have.
