This is a Stage 2 Platform from our acclaimed range of 'Silent Stage' Audio Component Isolation Platforms. It is suitable for all standard sized CD / DVD Players, Amplifiers etc.
The design criteria of the platform was as follows: 1. It must effectively isolate all frequencies of transmitted energy, 2. It must be 'user-tuneable' to take into account room acoustics and the equipment being isolated, 3. It must be adjustable for level without compromising rigidity, and last but not least 4. It must look a million dollars... (Well, you don't want your treasured component sitting on a shed, do you).
The platforms are fabricated from extruded clear Acrylic as this material is very dead acoustically - it doesn't have that tendency to 'ring' like glass. The Acrylic is beautifully finished, with hand polished edges.
The Silent Stage 2 consists of two separate platforms. The base platform houses four black-chromium finished spikes which are height adjustable and come complete with base disc holders, should you not wish to mark the surface they stand on.
Spikes are great for isolation but they are not the complete answer - certain frequencies still get through. We solve this in two ways. The spikes have damping rings fitted, made from the same superb material used in our Motor Vibration Absorbers. These tight fitting rings have a dual role. Firstly they reduce the amount of energy transmitted to the base platform, and secondly they stabilise any spike which has been adjusted from the 'fully screwed up' position - ensuring all spikes are solid and don't move.
The floating platform has a recessed 20mm circular spirit level and rests on four tuning pads. These 60mm diameter polymer discs effectively isolate energy that has got through the spikes and dampers on the base platform. Now comes the really ingenious bit...
Each Silent Stage is supplied with three sets of four tuning pads in different types / elasticity of specifically chosen synthetic polymers, allowing you to tune the platform by ear, depending on the room acoustics and the equipment being isolated.
All these design elements contribute to making the Silent Stage the best isolation platform on the market today - It sounds superb, looks tremendous and the fact that it is user-tuneable is unique.

Stage 1 - 480 x 400 x 45-55mm for Turntables & large components

FEEDBACK FROM USERS
Silent Stage 1
" Great Item, Very Good Finish. Extremely Tunable. Well Pleased. " A.R. (UK)
" Came today and I tuned it - truely superb - a massive improvement! " S.R. (UK) S.R. is using the SS1 to support his Audio Research CD Player. A few days after receiving this platform he ordered another for his preamp.
" Well impressed with the Silent Stage 1 that I am using with my Michell Gyrodec SE, hence I've ordered the two Stage 3's for my CD Player and Amp. " C.T. (UK)
Silent Stage 2
' The SS2 is simply AMAZING, worth every penny. The sound is so much ?tighter? and controlled, really has made the whole system better.' R.S. (UK) RS subsequently ordered 3 x SS4's for the rest of his system.
" Thanks for the ultra quick delivery of the Stage 2 platform. You asked for my comments, so here they are... Looks great - really nicely finished. Instructions / tuning tips very comprehensive. Sound Quality: Well, I am astounded! As you know, I have a Meridian CD and was previously using a ****** isolation platform which cost £300. Yours just 'blows it away'. It is better in all areas, particularly the bass which is now more solid and tuneful. The tuning pads make a considerable difference and I found set 2 sounded best in my system, when placed directly under the equipment feet and with spike base / holders not used. Incidentally, improvements were just as marked when I used it for my preamp (best sound here with set 1 pads) and power amp (set 2), so as soon as funds permit I will be buying another two :) Thanks for a truly innovative product! " G.H. (UK)
