Would somebody please educate me on what is a "Vukwich" and how one is made. I have a new CDX and might benefit. Maybe you could point me to an old thread.

I wouldn't bother, not even the chef himself (Vuk) thinks that it really works that well.

I've heard a rumour that Vuk is so bowled away by Hutter he has now decided to sell all his Mana.

I hope he recovers soon. Joe |

The Hutter effect was so shocking all the blood's drained from his head and its pretty obvious from your picture where its gone!! He may be non ferrous but he's no weenie boy!!!!

Jeff,
Forgive me for not having actually heard the Mana or Hutter effect, but this is how I derive endless satifaction from my CDX. If you are not loaded and you cashed yourself out buying the CDX as I did, this may serve you well as a temporary measure. This support has no relationship to the vukwich in sound or principle. Try it, you'll like it. Ask me if you want more detail. -Eric

A Vukwich is a combination of adding a 5mm peice of plate glass to the top of your CDX with Blu-Tak along with mounting your player on MDF which is then Blu-Taked down. Do a search and you should find Vuks' home page which should have some pictures. Arthur Bye |

Eric, Thank you for the picture. Question - What did you use for "cones"? Also, Thank you Arthur.

Jeff,
They are "Audio Selection" cones from audioadvisor.com. See link http://www.audioadvisor.com/product.cfm?productid=3987 It is my opionion that the CDX would rather be on three points than its own four feet. In fact, two points should go directly next to the right side feet and one under the transport area. If you set this up, you will find that the CDX is sensitive to airborn vibration and that you can "tune" it somewhat by placing the points. I find this configuration is most sweet, clear, dynamic and most tuneful in the bass melody. Moreover, I experience none of the fatiguing treble folks have ascribed to the CDX, and I did experience it myself before I developed this support. A glass shop can cut the glass to fit under the kit. Use a very thin layer of silicone sealant to stick the glass plates together. Stand on top of the stack to spread the silicone out. A bike shop can supply the innertube. Inflate it until it is firm. You will find that while a rack beneath may vibrate like crazy at louder volumes, you will find the glass plate to have only the slightest, hardly perceptable, high frequency vibration. Good luck if you try. Feel free to ask more questions. -Eric Oh yeah, one more thing. Cones, points down will kill the effect. Don't ask me why..

It's the Townsend air suspension idea, although he advises having the inner tube fairly soft.
How do you level the thing? |

Rockingdoc,
You can level the box with the cones, which have threads to extend the points. I have tested it soft and firm and the dynamics are better when it's firm. It is very tunable so I supose you can adjust it to your specific taste. I can never get over the differences the little tweaks make to the CDX, but they do. The air suspension benifits the Nait3 and hicap too. Eric |
