Peter, sorry for the confusion
Bpt=balanced pwr transformer
My Westwick 8kVA unit, UK/Euro equivalent to US Equi=Tech
It's a 18" x 18"/0.5m X 0.5m, 175lb/85kg behemoth
Hard to believe isolation could make a difference
But it does, big time
Have also trialled my more standard size and weight cdp, and a similar upstick
My tt is offline atm, awaiting my cart back from Soundsmith
But 4 years ago I tried the active Accurion i4 under my tt back in London, and a lot of the impvts I heard then I'm hearing now
Hence, I'm confident to extrapolate the platform I buy now will seamlessly optimise my analog rig when it returns
My ongoing dilemma is accommodating/affording further Stacores for my cdp, pre, pre psu, monos, phono and phono psu, plus any future isolation solution for my Zus
The big conclusion I've drawn is not that these things work, but how well they work, and how in my case at least, passive is so superior to active
Lloyd, I just offloaded a bunch of unused audio gear to release the funds for the two Stacores
(...)
Lloyd, could see myself investigating mass loading gear to increase grounding of gear to Stacores, to max efficacy of the platforms
I'll be well into retirement before my wk is done!
Stacore platform has maximum load capacity 65kg but your bpt is 85kg. It is over the limit. The effect of isolation should be less effective in the z direction?
I'm also interested in Stacore platform but ther max load capacity is too low for my equipments. Furthermore, the Stacore advanced platform is 95kg. Together with the equipment and platform, better make sure the shelf of the rack is able to hold 160kg.

Adyc, there are two versions
The BASIC, delete top slate plate, 65kg, can support 100kg+
This is what I'm using for my 85kg bpt
This is sitting on the flr, so no rack limitations
My tt is 32kg, so this will go on the ADVANCED, w the top plate, well within the 65kg load limit
Planning to buy a Rogoz inert rack which can take up to 150kg per tier, to site my tt/Stacore Adv upon
Another Polish product
What is it w the Poles and their heroically gargantuan builds? LOL
