Isolating an audio component from seismic feedback is a serious factor in its ultimate performance. Once we had developed the kW DM25's isolation system, we thought that we would make the technique generally available as a proper isolation platform.
The isolation system is the same as on our DM25 transport. The platform has a custom-made, high-purity aluminium, die-cast mounting tower at each corner. Each one contains an independent suspension system. The platform itself is made from non-resonant, one-inch-thick mdf. The isolation system works very well. It can be used with any audio component: turntable, CD player, amplifier, preamplifier, power amplifier or tuner. They all benefit from improved performance as a direct result.
The sonic effects of the Stable-1 are worthwhile. On turntables and CD players, there is an instant increase of resolution and ambient detail (not surprising, really). On any component with tubes in it, the effect is similar, perhaps even greater. Surprisingly, conventional amplifiers like the A5 integrated are also improved by using the Stable-1. We do not understand that one, because, from a cold, scientific standpoint, the transistor circuitry should not be microphonic. Nonetheless, we can hear the difference. Not as much as can be heard with turntables, CD players or tube amps, but nevertheless it is there to hear.
