I have quite a bit of experience with concrete platforms/shelving. I have formed and poured far too many, painstaking process in which you have to work vey quickly as you use fast acting mix. I have since moved on, all though I still use one under a wood platform for my turntable on custom brackets. Same concept and applications as making concrete countertops. How you decouple whether its concrete, slate, marble, or granite is the critical part. I found sorbothane worked well between the brackets and bottom of the concrete on steel. On a solid surface cork seemed to work well for me in my unique shelving system. Being able to suspend from 6" thick log walls creates a different dynamic...
As an aside -
Trying Corion (half inch) cut to your need is a very good alternative to many other offerings from a cost and practical standpoint - Especially if your support top/shelf is glass.
Try on your existing support or put directly on flat surface..
Top and bottom must be polished.

FWIW, I tried the Sortz RCA and Schuko versions with my CH equipment and wrote a review on HFA: https://www.hifi-advice.com/blog/re...tuning-tweaks-reviews/ansuz-sortz-and-sparkz/
Enjoyed the read....
I use the Signature/AP on the T router and the T3/AP on a Sonos Port in a second system. T3/AP and a hockey puck.. lol! It works..
Tried both in my pre and did nothing...

A new Roon update just came out and I installed it. I played Yuja Wng's album again and it was instant.
Hopefully we can hear the Taiko analog board v2 during the Vienna high end show in June.
I enjoyed the review, Christiaan. Coincidentally, right after I read it I found used Signature Sortz (2 RCA, 1 LAN) and a TC3 Sparkz at good prices. Unfortunately, so far, I've found them to have marginal impact. It might change over time.

Hi Joet, I'm not sure they have a "bedding in" effect over time, but I found them to work right away in my system. So, it appears that the effectiveness of Sortz and Sparkz may vary significantly from component to component and from system to system. If they don't do much now, then they may not be effective in your system.
Ok. I'll try the RCAs in different places. Otherwise, I'll try to sell the lot.
Hi Vassil,
Do you have an update on the networking components? I placed my order for the Router, Switch and DCD, in Black, with my dealer, Scott Walker Audio Texas, on May 11th. As of last week, they have not received any update from the Taiko factory. I never thought that there could be this much of a delay in networking gear...so disappointing. Thank you.
Hi @BobK,
I completely understand your frustration. Right now, all of our products are in very high demand, while our production capacity remains limited due to the sheer amount of work that goes into manufacturing them.
Although strong demand is often considered a “good problem,” we at Taiko don’t see it that way anymore. From the beginning, our mission has been to go out of our way to ensure happy customers, and we recognize that this goal is incompatible with long lead times. We’ve admittedly maneuvered ourselves into a challenging position by designing such complex products. For our networking gear specifically, this is largely due to machining the chassis from pure copper.
Looking ahead, we’re exploring the idea of splitting our offerings into two product lines, an “Economy Line” and a “Luxury Line.”
The Economy Line will be designed for scalable production, without copper chassis, allowing for easier manufacturing, lower costs, and the ability to maintain some stock.
The Luxury Line will remain exclusive and complex, with a small but likely noticeable price increase to reflect its handcrafted nature.
Current status of networking gear:
We’re making good progress clearing the backlog. Assuming no machine failures or staff absences, all chassis for current orders should finish machining within 2.5 weeks. After that, they’ll move to sanding, polishing, and finishing.
We’ve recently hired two new team members to boost capacity, and small batches are already returning from our external finishing partners. We’re confident that we’ll have the entire backlog (up to one week ago) cleared before Christmas, and we’re doing everything possible to expedite the process further.
Finally, I checked our system and saw that communication on this subject was sent to Josh about 12 days ago. We’ll follow up to understand what went wrong there, thank you for bringing this to our attention.
...personally, I would leave out any references to cost, value, etc. to avoid consumer confusion and attack language from the anti-expensive mafia over pricing. One man's value is another man's mortgage payment.
---Taiko Switch, Taiko Router, Taiko XYZ Product.
---Taiko Reference Switch, Taiko Reference Router, Taiko Reference XYZ Product.
I find these things can get confusing at times. Signature is better than Reference, is it?
