Expensive or Insane? Where to draw the line.

As for aftermarket stands to which you refer, a reviewer friend had two Halcyon microscopy isolation platforms for a while. He used the larger one for an EAR turntable and the smaller one with an EMM Labs CD-SA player. You'd hear an explosive bass note and watch the Halcyon's display indicate the active mechanism had clamped the vibration.
