“The 0.75 platform is very effective, we purposely set it up under our entry level turntable (6kgs) and it made the turntable sound like 3-4 times its price. Immediately apparent in audibility, no need to strain to hear it. A panel of 3 listeners all heard the same improvements.

“The fact my previous custom made rack also included many
isolation products, I wasn’t expecting a lot of changes.
But the differences were easily distinguishable increased clarity and ease, a more relaxing and enjoyable presentation, putting less strain on my brain to decipher the music through the many nasty artefacts I previously didn’t even know existed.
All the technology without looking like an alien spaceship, not only increased the WAF factor but left me with a centre furniture piece that enhanced the aesthetic of the room
Martyns passion warmth and professionalism, giving updates of the build process and incredible above and beyond setup service, made it not only one of the more satisfying products I’ve come to own but also one of the most enjoyable purchases I’ve ever made."

“The 01 rack used at last Monday's Auckland Audio Society meeting. There was an immediate and clear improvement - a consensus was that it cleaned up the sound. Having a tuned isolation table may well be the cheapest way to upgrade your system. Locally made too!

" I reckon a lot of HiFi furniture still looks like it was designed in 1988, so I’ve been admiring the fine lines of Shida racks for a while, and just picked up a 0.5 platform last week. Big thanks to Martyn, love it!
And happy to support a local craftsperson.
I am a keen enthusiast of the low end, and this has definitely tightened up the bass performance from my turntable, which probably has a lot to do with the chunky subwoofer doing it’s thing and the cabinet being built into the room. Things are sounding pretty pretty good.”

“It’s a lot more clear. Space between instruments is
enhanced - there’s a clarity that wasn’t there before.
Blue Monday is astonishing, as is Dexter Gordon.”

"I started evaluating your platform under my CD Transport and it's definitely made a difference... most notable in bass extension and sound staging."

"The Sugden power amp is sitting on your platform seven elastomers under it, big positive changes in the sonics, better pace, definition, coherence etc.
Leading edge very good, always was, but now even better,
toes are tapping. Very pleasing."

"A big thank you for the care taken in the finishing of the shelf - it's very nicely made. A quick listen confirmed that it has opened up the sound
- as in more detail, especially in the mids (vocals) ... a little more transparency, tonal colour and soundstage depth.
Your isolation system makes it all sound better!"
