zaZen II

I was dubious that this platform could deliver the sonic benefits to justify its price, but it does. The low turntable surface noise that I was getting at high volumes is gone. Just inky black silence in the quiet parts. Highly recommended.

Best price (by $25) from any vendor. A quality well made Turntable Isolation Platform. Rega 6 has never sounded bettet

Bought this for my Rega P6 table that is placed (necessarily) very close to my left KEF R7 META speaker. So I figured more isolation wouldn't hurt. The build quality is excellent and it looks great under the table. Did it effect the sound quality? I'm not convinced it does, I haven't noticed a significant improvement, but it certainly didn't hurt anything. I will need to some more A/B testing when I have the time to make a final say. But... for now based on the looks and quality I will give it 4 stars. If later I decide it has improved the sound I will bump it up to 5.

If you have a turntable, adding this will clean up the sound at loud volumes - especially in the lower end of the frequency spectrum. Everything becomes cleaner and more defined and much less muddy. If you don't have an isolation solution already in place you'll be amazed at the difference. I say go for it - I'm very glad I did. Nice product. No complaints.

No vibration from my speaker which is right beside my whole audio system or give it a hundred thumbs up

This is perhaps the best $220 you will spend to actually (and dramatically) improve the listening experience of your analogue rig. The increase in clarity and imaging was noticeable as soon as I place my Rega Planar 3 on top of the Zazen II isolation platform and started spinning the first vinyl. Soundstage was immediately improved and tonality and separation of instruments immediately recognized. I was rather skeptical these platforms would actually improve sound , but hearing is believing. Super recommended.

Zazen II- I bought this for my Thorens TD403DD turntable which weight 15.9 pounds. I live in an old home and I was having issues with foot steps causing the tone arm to jump. I wish I could say that the zaZenII fixed the issue but it did not. I can’t even really say that it helped at all. I’m giving it 3stars because on the bright side it did improve the sounds as described on the box, greater detail soundstage fuller bass a better overall clarity. This was noticeable right away. It was noticeable enough to make me keep it and not return it as I still can’t really walk around with out tip toeing. Gear used: Thorens td403dd, ortofon 2m Black, McIntosh ma6900 Klh model 3’s

I wasn't very positive about how much if any at all that this could change my sound but I'm stunned. I have a small space and cerwin Vega D7s right next to my turntable and I could feel the vibrations and hear how muddy my sound was. Well this fit my fit my thorens 160 perfect and the sound is amazing. Bass is tighter and sounds more clearer in all aspects. Having one of these is a must in a loud sound area for your turntable. 👍
