Read that yesterday and interesting to read his thoughts regarding the Isolator/no Isolator

Thought it was interesting what was said about using the Isolator and they reflect my own thoughts, I felt when I used it the Boss was better without it?

I felt the BOSS lost some of its dynamics and ebullient nature with the Isolator.

"Ebullient" great word!
As we know Jim, what works for one doesn't for another. I am genuinely surprised though.

Your right mate , always system dependent and how we perceive the corresponding sound.

I've not tried it with the SHANTI without the isolator.
Might give it a go. But from experience the isolator has always made proven to bring an upgrade in the sound.

I would definitely give it a try Josie. YMMV but I'm finding it more enjoyable all round at the moment. Could be a system synergy thing of course.
A mainly digital setup with a musical amplifier and endearing 1970's speakers. A CD player that hardly ever gets used and a turntable that is good enough to remind my how enjoyable my old vinyl is. Some cables and things.
