isolation for goldmund dv-696av-s

2008.08.28 Recommended by a Sun Audio buddy this is a weighty, dense, slimy, moist, rubbery looking dampening polymer, though looks & feels very much like sorbothane, for use with our £6k goldmund eidos 18d*…ehhm…pioneer DV-696AV-S universal player. “Spectra Dynamics Isolation Block 150” is a 1.5cm thick 15 by 15cm black square that is soft & sticky to your touch and extremely squeezy like gel soles in shoes and hand-rests on gel mouse pads from IT retail stores. To use position it on top of your cd player where the transport is located. It dampens the vibrations of the chasis when the cd spins in the transport. Does it works? Absolutely, background is calm and silent. You'll hear rounded highs, warmth, improved resolution, details and control...you'll enjoy listening to music playback at louder levels...you’ll be drawn in between the musical notes and the performers. For $40 there's no restraint for this kneading dough.


*Further info on the goldmund DV-696AV-S. Goldmund acknowledges the use of pioneer dvd parts in all its recent models of CD/SACD/DVD players, simply they were the best designed. Goldmund has, for each new model, clearly announced which Pioneer model was used and how deeply they were modified...

Goldmund Eidos 18d...If you look at the circuit board on the right and look at the big chip (ic). It has a orange dot on it.Also to the top left of that chip you will see a label. To the left of that label is a small capacitor. From this there seems to be a wire coming from it and going to the edge of the board. The pioneer player dosen't have these things.
