What's under YOUR CD player?

I have my CDP sitting on a Sisturm Platform designed to couple my CDP. This is one beautiful piece of engineering. Imagine to 2" brass cones, one point up, one point down, threaded together through a steel triangular resonant coupler. Can't imagine? Go to their website: audiopoints.com and you'll see the whole deal. You'll think you bought a new CDP once you put your baby on top of this system. They are amazing. I'm not a decoupler. While I know it works for many, it's really quite an impossibility to achieve, especially when you (we forget) take into account airborne resonances. Then the very things you're using to decouple, keep those nasty microphonous resonances right where you don't want them. Coupling. That
's the ticket. The technology and physics is still a mystery to many of us. On their website, they and Robert, will explain, very patiently, what the whole deal is about. Their stuff has a money back guarentee. Whaddaya got to lose? Happy New Year, warren

Sony 9000ES... set of Walker Valid Points brass cones on their matching lead discs on a lead filled Lovan Sovereign stand. Tara Labs Decade power cord.

I use Audioquest sorbothane pucks under my Sony SCD-777es. I wish they weren't as tall as the are (about 1") because the Sony is top loading and I have a turntable as my primary source. With the sony on the second shelf it gets crowded sometimes.

Try some isolation cones or isolation platforms, simply search "isolation" on AUdiogon and you will find tons.

I have a Karik III and I use Audiopoints brass cones between the player and a Michael Green rack. I found the pneumatic platforms (Townshend and Brightstar) and Vibrapods slowed the pacing and bass, although they are smooth-sounding. Audiopoints opened up the top, reduced the digital glare and added depth and space, with absolutely zero trade-off. (Mapleshades are also very good). My experience, BTW, is that power cords are not very meaningful to Linn equipment, especially pieces with switching power supplies, like the Ikemi. I tried the JPS Digital and others, and also tried Shunyata and others on my Karik and on my Lingo, and sent them all back. PC's did improve my Majik and my old LK280, so the amps seem to be a different story.
