Greg's secret Japanese CD source.

The Druid Stone
Isolation Device
Introductory priced!
19"x18" = $599 (Typical component size)
24"x20" = $699 (Turntable size)

All Druid Stone Isolation platforms are custom fit to your exact component.
The weight of your component is required
for custom configuration of the
load capability of your isolation device.

The beautiful complex crystalline structure of this granite, that's what makes it work so well! Larger picture below.

Vibration from bass notes is more of a problem in your system that you realize!
Source components, and especially tube electronics are adversely affected by even micro vibrations.

THE TEST:
While playing music somewhat loud see if you can feel a vibration from bass notes in your floor, walls, or even on your furniture. If the answer is yes then proceed to "The Problem".
THE PROBLEM:
Those same vibrations are traveling into your components and disrupting the mechanical process of reading a CD, or tracking the groove on a record. This can be quite noticeable, you will hear it as a blurring of bass notes, or by less clarity in the midrange and highs. These acoustic vibrations from the speakers are more of a problem in your system than you realize! Especially if your speakers are near your components, if you have hardwood floors, or if your room is not on a concrete slab. Source components, and as well tube electronics are adversely affected by these micro vibrations.
You are so used to this phenomenon in your system they won't even realize you have a problem until you use a good isolation device. Then the clarity and detail you have been missing comes to life and it seems like you're listening to a new system!

THE SOLUTION:
Phase One; The vibration control medium.
How can we overcome these acoustical and mechanical vibrations?
I have researched this for twenty years trying all type of vibration isolation devices in every price range.
I was becoming disillusioned because I found  problems with them all, weather it was performance or just the cost.
Honestly, some were great products but their cost was I felt prohibitive to most audio enthusiasts at $2000 plus.
Then about a year ago I contacted one of the leading Electron Microscope experts in the USA
and began a year long quest for that magic blend of materials and engineering.
We began testing his theories and his applications used on very expensive Electron Microscopes.
Microscopes that see things in nano size must be extremely stable to avoid blurring the image.
There are mega buck active isolation systems used on the better microscopes, but my goal was to make this affordable!
We began with soft compounds that would decouple a device from the floor, we tried over thirty
 different compounds. Then we tried different forms until we came to a combination of damping material
and a hemispherical form of varying specific gravity. The contrasting layers of this form
 eliminated vibration better than we could have imagined.
This material is currently being investigated by major manufacturers in the microscope field as a low cost isolation product.

Phase Two; The platform.
We found that giving the audio component a dense stable platform worked quite well as
a dampening structure on it's own. We tried,carbon fiber, steel, aluminum, polymers of varying density, glass
all with varied results. But the best we found, (we believe because of it's weight, density, and rigidity) was a
particular type of granite from a certain quarry that we will keep as proprietary information. This certain
granite has a molecular structure that has particularly inert characteristics when exposed to any vibration.
The real bonus is that it is quite a beautiful granite, this is one wife friendly audio tweak!
It will add another dimension of sound quality while adding a finished look to any audio system.
The combination of our acoustically dead composite material and this granite was the breakthrough we
could only have hoped for.
Your system should have a Druid Stone Isolation System in it, you will notice the result immediately!  

A must for any turntable or CD player!
Awesome for preamps, amps, or speakers.
Any size you need is available.

That's what makes it work!
