Title: Zen Audio Platforms Post by Showme on 01/28/20 at 22:59:42 I haven’t seen any end user posts concerning these Decware Audio platforms. Anybody have any comments? Just curious before I allocate $$$. Bang for the buck sort of question |

Title: Re: Zen Audio Platforms Post by HockessinKid on 01/29/20 at 00:12:13 I really like the platform. Sonically, I noticed a slight decrease in noise as compared to my 3" maple platform w/ Herbie Audio footers. In terms of SQ noise improvement to my system, I would rank them from greatest to least as follows: ZMA 25th Anniversary mods>Pi Audio uberBUSS power conditioner>diffuser panels>Zen platform. To me the platform is icing on an already great tasting cake😊. HK |

I am saddened to see Diffusers so low on your list. LOL |

Title: Re: Zen Audio Platforms Post by Steve Deckert on 02/01/20 at 05:09:24 Yes, we have shipped many so far, and are getting another large batch completed now. They are really becoming perfected now that we've had a fair bit of practice across all the different woods. By that I mean it is often easy to hit a home run out of the park with a couple great prototypes, but to recreate those in numbers with absolute consistency is at least ten times harder. So I am happy the demand for them has been strong enough to allow us to fine tune the design and finishes to a point where we are actually exceeding the prototypes! Over the past three years of development I have burned at least a dozen in the wood pile here at Decware because they got wavy or warped. Trial and error has shown us the pattern / board widths for each wood on each model to prevent this, as well as more high-tech sealers. All I can say is OMG it is so easy to make a solid maple block... and believe me, if it were really that easy I would be doing it to. As is often the case with these forums, most people read the forums, but do not sign up and post. Therefore you will typically find only about 5% of the units sold will be to forum posters, nevertheless that is enough to get some good feedback here that everyone can benefit from. Steve |

Title: Re: Zen Audio Platforms Post by pursuitofnow on 04/05/20 at 17:16:05 I'm considering some of these platforms for my monoblocks. Would the Size A - 8" x 13-1/4" x 2-7/8" be the proper/intended size for each amp? |

Title: Re: Zen Audio Platforms Post by busterfree on 04/05/20 at 22:01:05 Size A is only for SE84UFO. You need size b. I would suggest that Decware takes the size chart from the shopping cart page and put in on the main page for the platforms. BTW - I really like my platform. I would rather listen to music than write product reviews. |
