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

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.

The zaZen II eliminated a long-standing footfall problem I had on one section of my 1952 suspended wood floor. I haven't really stomped down to test it out, but normal footsteps are no longer causing problems. More than worth the $200. I've known about this product for years and really wish I'd picked one up a long time ago.

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’m using it to isolate a pro-ject x2 turntable with a Hana MC cartridge. The Hana moving coil is rather sensitive and I was getting a fair amount of low end rumble. I am using an Adam Sub15 so yep, there are great lows. I did a lot of research, especially on IsoAcoustic products. It came down to a decision for the Delos or zaZen. While my table is under 25lb, I chose to get the zaZen II thinking that more mass is better (and it’s not that much more $). It does work. Most of the rumble is gone. There is just a very little bit that remains but it’s really not that noticeable. If I didn’t notice any faint rumble, I would have given this 5 stars.

It looks great but it did not solve the vibration feedback. I think on a lesser turntable le it would help but I noticed very little improvement.
