CJ - see if you can guess which isolation platforms were used in that Rockport/Tenor system Valin flipped over (as did many other listeners) -- one platform under source, one under each of the 4 Tenors.

Hi.I don't know. Want to tell me what makes?
That said, I'm not interested to drop a bundle to buy any commercial products as there are quite a few available. I build my own sinc day one.
Knowing the importance of acoustical isolation, my equipmment rack is my DIY custom design-built, providing massive support & discrete isolation for EACH & every component. Very affordable but efficiency.
IMO, turntable is the most crucial component which demands the best acoustical isoaltion in view of its motor drive & low level signal involve.
I have mine mounted on a very massive discrete isolation platform, completely separated from my main equipment rack. I share the similar idea of Rockport's System III Sirius turntable platform.
BTW, what do you use for your component isolation ?
c-j - the iso platforms in the Tenor/Rockport room that year 2002 were my platforms (Machina Dynamica) (trick question :-). My Nimbus Sub-Hertz Platform was selected to isolate the CD player (French) and my Prometheans were selected to isolate the 4 Tenor amps. Nimbus is a 6 degree of freedom, floorstanding single air spring design (!!) with Fr as low as 0.5Hz. Promethean is a mechanical spring design. Accept no substitutes. :-)PS: that same year, Prometheans isolated four JC-1s in the Curl/Crump/Wisdom Audio room. A special Super Nimbus isolated both the Entec Number Crucher DAC and the G&D Transforms CD transport.
