Isolation recommendations

Posted by hatari (A) on June 3, 2007 at 08:50:00

I'm not a big tweaker, but I am re-doing my system and wanted to get recommendations of isolation devices/racks I should consider. I am considering a new rack that has good isolation ability (ie finite elemente, GP Racing stand), or making a custom rack and adding isolation features to that (platforms etc.). I'm focused on vibration isolation, rather than RFI.

The equipment I'm focused on are:

1. Levinson 390S using Foundation Research LC1 power chord
2. Verity Parsifal Encore floor standing 3-way on a 2yr old oak floor (3/4" board)

I'm not convinced that isolation will work, but I have an open mind and want to try it. What I do find is that there is a good amount of bass resonance where I'm sitting and I'm sure it's the floor. I'm wondering how this feeds into my equipment and back into the speaker. The tighter the bass control on the Verities, the better.

The equipment is currently on a very heavy oak custom cabinet (3/4" wood) with no special isolation, just big rubber feet.

I'm not into DIY solutions unless they are very attractive (ie no home made bladders, or isolation points). The setup is in a nicely decorated room, so esthetics are important.

Please give me your thoughts and experiences (I will certainly try before I buy), and thank you very much.

Cheers
