Isolation device under Ayre CX-7e?

Hvu, You can compare the use of Herbie's footers in two different ways, first directly between the Ayre CX-7e and your maple board base, and second under the maple wood base.
I think directly under the component can be the most neutral, allowing a component to be at its best.
Incidentally, I have found that placing one or more Cardas/Ayre Myrtle Wood Blocks on top of a component, especially the wooden plinth of a turntable, can fine tune the sound separately from the overall benefit of any footers.
With any support method, there can be an adjustment period of minutes to hours before the completed benefit, or effect, upon a component is audible. This endpoint is when there is a sense of ease or rightness to the sound, without any listener fatigue.

try sound fusion sound boosters. i reviewed this product on the website audiophilia.com . check the archive section.

I actually order Tenderfoot from Herbiesaudiolab.com Let wait and see if it will help anything. Since it has 90-days trial, i'll try it. If it does not work,i'll return the stuff and get Myrtle block.

How many block do you think i should get? I think the set is 3 blocks. I don't want to remove the foot from CDP,by the way.

I recognize the CX-7e is heavy in one side.

Another notice that Cardas/Ayre Myrtle Wood Blocks sold in set of 3 blocks. Why not 4? I think 4 blocks under CDP will be more stable than 3 . However, i think Ayre or Cardas has reason behind it.

thanks.

Hvu, It is extremely stable with three footers under a component case, and Herbie's or Cardas/Ayre footers can bear great weight and still provide desired vibration control.
You place two of the footers under the heavy side of your component, and a single footer under the lighter side, if there is a big difference in distribution of weight to be supported.
If each Herbie's Tenderfoot is not tall enough when you do not remove the original factory feet then you can simply place a Myrtle Wood Block footer beneath each Herbie's Tenderfoot.
You will be surprised how you can make subtle adjustments in how your CX-7e sounds when you use different footers alone, or in combination. These are all very reasonable in price.
