All components are resting on early version platforms made my my brother, Bob
(audio-resolution.com). The Shigaraki gear has high resonance in the metal,
lower in the ceramic, then the platforms' steel top is lower, then hardboard,
then MDF, then foam, then a pine shelf. The theory behind the platform is
that energy drains to something with a lower resonance. Below each
Shigaraki's ceramic I've placed 3 pennies as feet, because without these they
rock a bit.
The Scott Nixon TUBEDAC+ and a Lehman phono pre-amp have Aluminum or Steel
rectangular blocks on them and under them. When under them, the blocks couple
the device to the platform & when above them, they weight them down. Also
Sorbothane pucks are placed on top for added vibration damping.
