    Installed new isolation platform for my Music server

    The Q-Core Platform is designed to reduce micro vibration so that they won’t reach your components which can have negative effects on your SQ. It weighs 43lbs. Since I placed the platform into my 2CH system I’ve noticed increased definition in both mids and highs which enhanced the holographic elusion. It’s like another veil has been lifted. The bass has increased in authority but with will defined focus. It's finished in a mahogany veneer with clear coat. 200lb capacity.

    Re: Installed new isolation platform for my Music server

    I was having George over to listen and critique my new speakers.When he arrived,he mentioned his new concept, the platform , and suggested we try it.To be polite , i said sure , but , doubted any improvement with a isolation platform for my server.We played with my system for a while , and then we tried the platform.
    The results were incredible .We were listening to the Bill Evers Trio , and the two of us went into slow motion when the Q- Core was placed into the system.I have a wood rack from Timbernation , that has Herbie's isolation feet attached.I thought that the would handle any vibration issues. I was wrong.
    The soundstage was unbelievable.The cymbals became natural ,lots of air,and fuller.The bass had a better punch to it.The texture of the sound became more dimensional.
    I won't drone on ,as i am not a good writer.
    I will tell you, i purchased the Q-Core on the spot.Poor George had to go home and build a second one for his system.
    Interesting concept that brings you closer to audio nurvana.

    Thank you Francis for your feedback. Just some tech details:

    The vibration is converted to kinetic energy. Then as the kinetic energy travels thru the custom quad core layers, the energy is dissipated due to friction which then turns kinetic energy into thermal energy, or heat. Also the feet provides vibration dampening via its composite foam center. These pads can withstand 50 psi. All machining is done with a commercial CNC machine.

    Below is a clip of the CNC cutting the platform.
