Sorry your incorrect in your generalisation, I've used a isolation base for my SB3 that IN MY SYSTEM has a marked effect on the sound quality. I've used similar for cdp's and solid state amps the effect is repeatable and obvious in different systems. If in doubt try using a stethescope to listen to vibration transmission through your hifi support. place listening head on the floor ...tap floor listen place listening head on shelf and repeat. Add a granite or marble shelf on top of the normal shelf and repeat . It should be clear the effect the increased mass has on the transmitted vibration. Then consider that resistors and capacitors not to mention the chips are to a greater or less degree microphonic. If you can reduce the amount of vibration within the unit you will lower the noise floor ie it should sound better. When I heard the transport against the sb3 it was clear the transport was superior but not imo $1600 superior. -- zanash Acoustician and builder of interesting cables ------------------------------------------------------------------------ zanash's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12157 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=39093 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
