BDR "The Shelf" Isolation platform

I've read lots of nice things about the Black Diamond Racing "The Shelf" and of course "The Source", as a base for CD players.

Has anyone in the forum had a positive actual experience with these shelves?

If you've had a good experience with a competitor product such as SRA, TAOC, IsoRock etc did you do any comparisons with other product before purchase?

Coniferdave - you got it right. Note that you may need to experiment with location for the cones under the CDP.
Listen first with just the cdp sitting on the shelf with no cones then the cones on the shelf pointing up with the CDP on top.

Here's everything you need to know about BDR. Concerning cone positioning, some have tried with tip up/tip down under the same component with varying results.

Thanks for all the responses. It looks like there could be an almost infinite number of combinations. I can see where you could drive yourself crazy trying to come up with the best mix. That's not going to happen to me to me to me to me............
