@audiopoint,
I kind of went the way of MG’s Low Mass System concept, more by coincidence really, inasmuch as I downsized about 3 years ago to the point where there is no more amplifier, no more World’s Most Modded Oppo CD Player, no more House AC, no finicky AC Ground, no power cords, no interconnects, no speaker cables, no big toxic transformers, no more fuses, no multitude of electrical connections to worry about, no chassis to fret about.
And because I went to a headphone system there is no more concern about room treatments, at least the usual ubiquitous ones. I do actually employ many thousands of the unspeakable type of treatments around the house as you can perhaps image. Perhaps not. 😬 In any case, my current system of Made in Japan Panasonic portable CD player and naked Grado SR-80 headphones are pretty light. Just to be on the safe side the Panny is up on a highly specialized isolation platform which is mostly glass crystal and glass and glass micro beads for high mass, all of which are up on some springs of my design.
The Crystal Palace or Palace of Solitude as I like to call it comes in around 50 lbs. so, I kind of doubt there would be a place for a Sistrum but I appreciate the offer. I suggest you try some springs directly under whatever component you have sitting on a Sistrum. You know, for isolation. Never up, never in. Besides, doesn’t MG use springs?
