looking for best isolation platform for CD player

The system that Nrchy is refering to was devised by Joe Lavrencik, a member of the Chicago Audio Society. I'll try and contact Joe and see if he can contribute to this thread and / or at least provide a way for the public to contact him. As far as i know, he does not have a website set up as of yet but is working on it.

Joe does have a set of papers that he's put together that demonstrates the effectiveness of these devices using vibration of the component itself as a point of reference. These tests were conducted and measured at various frequencies to show just how well they do at dealing with different types of resonance transmission. Obviously, the more that the device is "vibrating" or "oscillating", whether it be from floor-borne or air-borne excitation, the less effective the device is. Sean

you need to get in touch with a fellow audiogoner that makes the best isolation platform for CD players, transports, amps, etc...i didn't believe in this kind of tweaks (tried cones, rollerblocks, innertube), but after i tried his Ginkgo Cloud Nine platform, man was i wrong!...truly a stunning tweak!...good luck!

You will never find.. IT.. until you realize there is.. NO.. such thing as isolation.. Tom

No such thing as isolation ? There is no such thing as "complete draining of energy through increased coupling" either. There are obviously varying degrees of both isolation and coupling. To deny that neither works nor exists is not very realistic. Sean

Sean describe to Us your rack? Are you still using the high mass, high storage Michael Green rack? Or perhaps some new cosmic State of the Rack maybe consisting of exotic timber, lead shot and pneumatic hot air bags. Does It couple? Does It Isolate? Or is It a confused implementation of Both? Please tell Us? Inquiring minds want to know..Tom
