Too Economical Not To Try!

Posted by Jim Hodgson on January 20, 2017 at 11:25:53:
Thanks for the tip, Duster! I haven't explored this world sufficiently, and I no longer have an excuse ;)

A couple of follow-up questions?

1. Did you have best results with four (or perhaps just three) under each component?

2. Are the anti-skid pads really necessary -- or would components be secure enough without them? If they're needed, I might stick one pad to both top and bottom of each disc as I'd rather not adhere anything directly to components.

3. Would you recommend for loudspeakers that came equipped with spikes meant to be placed directly on the floor? (I see in the additional eBay photo that each disc has a small center indent meant to accept the point of a spike, I assume.)

At the very least, I'm considering trying three (unless you recommend four) between my Mapleshade Samson shelves and each one of my components: amp, preamp, transport, and DAC. (At the moment, I'm not using anything, and each component just sits on its own shelf.)

My TT sits, using its own coupling method, on a Mapleshade isolation platform with Isoblocks between it and a Mapleshade shelf. I may replace those Isoblocks with these carbon fiber discs.

And finally, may I repeat what others have already said? MUCH APPRECIATED!
