Iso-Puck Question


For a CDP that weighs 30 lbs, would I bet better with 5 Iso-Puck Minis (each bears 6 lbs) or 3 Iso-Pucks (each bearing 20 lbs)?  So with the Mini's it would be at the suggested weight limit (unless I use 6, which would have max weight of 36 lbs) or half the weight max using the Iso-Pucks (30 of the 60 lbs).

Thoughts?

Thanks, and stay safe.

Oreas work best when not at the upper limit specified by Isoacoustics.  I imagine the same applies to Iso-pucks.  Using just 3 (rather than 4 or certainly 4) may also be advantageous.
I understand the fear of pogo sticking, I would be more afraid that the mini's are overloaded or close it it and you get no benefit. twoleftears makes a good point on using three rather then four. Do report back, it'll be useful for others as to what you did and found.
My experience with the Oreas was to use ones that would use up about 40-60% of weight allowance. The ones that used around 90% didn't have anywhere near the same results. 

Also, despite what Isoacoustics and Music Direct told me, using them under the feet of the component gave me the best results. They recommend placing them directly in contact with the bottom of the chassis and that was a really torturous affair.

 Moving them just a fraction of an inch this way or that, elicited large differences in where they accented or attenuated and never gave an across the board result that was satisfying. There was always a trade off.

Hope that helps,

audiodwebe, it sounds like the best match would be the iso-acoustics OREA Indigos. That would be $180 for three with each supporting 16 pounds. I’m using those under my DAC and GAIA’s under the speakers. Great devices. If you can swing the $180 I’d go with the three indigos. Best of luck.
