Best Isolation HRS? SRA? Zoethecus? Symposium?

Thank you GeoffKait, I am glad 'sesimic' is but an unofficial variant of good old-fashioned 'seismic'. I was afraid I was confronting yet a new novel Age Physics other-dimensional phenomenon measurable only through Radionics-based apparati. Even in their classic spelling, I am not quite sure I am terribly concerned about vibrations induced by tectonic movements in the Mantle, Crust, subduction faults or otherwise. If they are strong enough to be felt by me, bloating in the midbass will be the very least of my concerns. And if my house were in an area prone to anything more than sporadically occurring microquakes. . . it would be high time to move elsewhere, before anything larger than 'micro' hits that idyllic neighbourhood. On the other hand, vibrations directly or indirectly induced by human presence and transaction -- or by weather -- constitute more realistic targets for musical concern and eventual absorption.

Guidocorona - Ya got me! I thought you were the one that couldn't spell, but it was I.... Good one!

Jadem6 - Excellent reaction! - the feeling is quite mutual, btw. You must not get out much...

Seurat - of course, one might ask why the gravitational wave experiment doesn't use a rack instead of a pendulum to isolate the interferometer... :-)

Jadem6: I cannot speak from experience regarding the Brilliant Pebbles and Clever Lil Clock, but I do have experience with Geoff's Nimbus Stand. I used it at a show about four or five years ago and think very highly of it. It has real science behind it and is very obvious from first use. Geoff is a very smart man who is also quite the gentleman. I understand your questioning the products, but I can tell you that Geoff does deserve respect for the accomplishments I am aware of.

Question him offline, I am sure you will be impressed.

I've given credit to things like upgraded power cords, dedicated lines, room tuning and even aftermarket fuses for making improvements to the sound of my system.

I've used modded Target type stands and all manor of sismic sinks, Roller blocks, BDR,and wooden chopping blocks and felt pretty good about all of my effforts.

What I've never been conviced of is that any upscale audio rack would make a difference to what I cobbled together.

I mean all the other stuff I agonize over really counts, the stand is just a stand right?

Well I should have known better, me the tweekster,should have known that no stone should be left unturned in the pursuit of great sound.

So it is with grat pleasure that I announce that my most recently purchased audio toy is a Grand Prix Audio LeMans rack.

And to say that this one item alone surpasses all my expectations is not saying enough about the improvemnt this stand has made in the sound of the music coming from all my other toys.

Can a better snad box improve the toys that are in it?
Maybe not, but this audio stand certainly improves the toys placed on it.

One point to make,because I am a tweester I substituted the slim Grand Prix spikes for 3 fatter brass ones from my Ref 3A Grand veens(which use BDR cones -ah the tweekster strikes again)and the bass impact and fullness of the music went up several notches.

I would expect the delite people get from using the GP Apex footers is because the stock slim GP spikes are holding back what this rack can do.

I can honestly say that with the GV spikes on the GP stand,the whole GD sytem has improved by leaps and bounds.

The best audio purchase I've ever made.

SYMPOSIUM Using Stealth Amp stand Roller blocks Stealth stands under my Audience 6ts and 6tGp upgrade MUCH better with SYMPOSIUM.
