Good move, Chris. Isonoes do a remarkable job of isolating and cleaning up the sound. I also think they look good (immaterial, but a bonus). My oil platform look is completed by the Dynavector 'gantry'.

I'll keep you posted.
I too hope that Richard is ok, and not for any selfish reasons.

I think the Isonoes are in keeping with the almost industrial chic of the Technics.
They do work tremendously well too, and my deck is well isolated to start with
