Isolation device under Ayre CX-7e?


Hi,
I was wondering if anyone places the isolation device such as Vibrapod or maple wood board under Ayre CX-7e? What's your opinion?

I put my CX-7e on top of a maple wood board and then on top of 4 Vibrapod last night. THe soundstage was bigger, but the high is kind of echoeing. When i took them out, then the sound is clearer but soundstage was smaller. I just want to get some opinions or suggestions from experts here.

Thanks for reading.

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.
i read in Herbiesaudio.com that placing something like a piece of wood under tenderfeet will be ok. But I figure something like Ayre/Cardas Myrtle block combination will help. Actually, there's one person selling Myrtle wood block (same wood that Cardas makes ) in A'gon and i'll order from him. It's reasonable price to try out anyway.

Thanks for suggestions.
I use Monument Reference Signature SoundPosts and they are stellar. However, they do not come cheap..

A good question...I think you will gain a moderate to significant improvement in sound if you just use the Mapleshade isolation system. And no I have no relationship to Pierre Spreys Company. However he does have good "ears" and he does make great recordings. Have fun!

On my CX-7e I'm using a brightstar platform and brightstar little rock on top for complete isolation. Using both focused the soundstage and the lower end.
