looking for best isolation platform for CD player

Brian,

I'll contact Dennis. Sounds promising.

Thanks

Good to read that you take care of your family (finacial obligations/liabilities), but that was not the question.

Slightly off the subject, but just as important in many ways for sonic purity in audio systems.
Has anybody out there tried the Quantum QRT product, or products?
I just spoke to them, and it sounds to me as if they are working on the level of a Pentium 8 while others are working on the level of 286's.(Simplistic computer analogy)
Literally, if what they claim is true, in a different league, and another evolution. I have asked a couple of designers who claim this might be the next evolution in line purification. I am familiar with the Hydra, and the Richard Gray Power company, plus Furman, but this is compelling.
Building a new house, and this would change some plans regarding line treatment.
Any feedback would be welcome.
Thanks

I have used the maplewood platform for all my audio equipments since I have tried a few platforms but nothing can come closer to the sound, which has more smooth lively musical and detail like Maplewood. If you can afford you also can get Shun-Mook products for vibration control.

Vibration isolation is not a problem unique to audio. At work we use a 8-inch dish of mercury as a reflective surface for optical measurements of true horizontal. (The mercury surface is a perfect level reference). However, the slightest vibration causes ripples on the mercury which makes the optical measurements difficult. Even with the mercury dish on a 3000 pound granite slab on a pier sunk 60 feet into the ground we had ripples.

Our problem was solved by an active (electronic) vibration isolation table, similar to one that you can check out at:

If I recall correctly it cost us about $3000. I can't see needing this for a CD player, but it could be good for a LP turntable. Be the first on your block to have one!
