Isolation platform under US 500 for CDP

Neuance is a fabulous product. I have one under my Exemplar 2900 and another under my Manley Preamp.

Noticeable improvement in focus and transparency.

I replaced a Krell to buy the Marantz SA-14 SACD player. The Marantz was more musical, but lacked the air and detail of the Krell until I placed the Marantz on the Neuance platform. Now I love the Marantz!

Buy the Neuance. Great company to deal with, too.

Zoethecus Z-slab is another worthwhile contender

The Neuance platform is a bargain and an excellent device. I employ one under my Linn Sondek Lp12 TT and also have tried it under my CDP and will soon place one there permanently. Ken Lyon of Neuance is a great guy to deal with as well and as Tvad commented, you have a thirty day trial. Just beware that Neuance is a one-man operation and all platforms are made on a by order build schedule.
Happy Listening!

I have used the SRA's VR series(should be close in your range)and it has been better than any component upgrade. e.g. moving upto the Meitner was good but the SRA's definitely make it better. great company to deal with too.
