Reveal the finer details from your records with our award-winning turntable isolation platforms.
Discover the benefits of a turntable isolation platform with the DELOS butcher block from IsoAcoustics, designed to isolate turntables from vibrations and reveal the finest details in your records. The stylus navigating the tiny variations in the vinyl’s grooves is a delicate process that is very sensitive. By decoupling the turntable from the supporting surface and dramatically diminishing structural vibrations and resonances, DELOS enhances clarity and detail, creating a listening experience unlike any other.
Combining the mass of a thick butcher block with IsoAcoustics patented isolation, DELOS provides a low noise floor by eliminating the effects of structure borne vibrations.”

Maple and Walnut were chosen based on appearance, hardness and performance. Maple and Walnut are considered superior tonal woods, commonly used in the manufacture of fine guitars, pianos and violins. The difference between Maple and Walnut is mainly in their appearance. The Maple and Walnut platforms provide the same level of performance. Maple and Walnut platforms are known for their detailed, transparent and uncolored sound. The Maple board has a Janka Hardness rating of 1450 and the Walnut has a hardness rating of 1010. The hardness also makes the platforms very durable and resistant to scratches and dents. The butcher blocks are sealed with a urethane-based satin finish which is resistant to stains and most solvents.
The OREA’s provide a high degree of isolation by using IsoAcoustics patented isolation technology to absorb vibrations. The OREA’s are sold individually. 3 or more OREA’s can be used underneath a turntable or component.
The Delos provides a flat stable platform for isolating turntables or tube amplifiers. In addition to using IsoAcoustics patented isolation technology, the Butcher Block also provides mass. The mass of the butcher block complements the IsoAcoustics isolators to provide stability and more effectively eliminate the effects of structural vibrations and resonances.
The DELOS is always recommended when a turntable has an external motor as it will support the table and motor at the same height level.
Both the zaZen and DELOS feature dense platforms combined with integrated IsoAcoustics isolators. They each provide a low noise floor to allow turntables and components to reveal greater clarity and detail. The DELOS series is designed for heavier turntables that weigh up to 100 lbs. and features a larger butcher block platform with larger integrated isolators. The zaZen has a lower profile and is designed for lighter turntables and components that weigh up to 40 lbs. The DELOS is available in Maple or Walnut which are both very dense and hardwoods. The zaZen platform is denser by volume, but still much lighter than the DELOS models because of its smaller size which is more ideal for lighter components.
The specified weight limits are determined based on the performance curves. The products are able to support additional weight without harm, but the isolation performance is beginning to decline above the specified weight limits.
The DELOS works for both Turntables and other components such as tube amplifiers. The Delos decouples the turntable or components from the supporting surface to dramatically diminish structural vibrations and resonances
After seasoning, “rails” or “staves” of prime maple and walnut are hand selected and sorted. They are then cut-to-size, eliminating defects caused by nature. The laminated individual pieces of wood come together in a unique pattern of colors and grain. No two pieces of wood are ever the same. This laminated construction results in a very durable and stable structure with great acoustic properties and an aesthetically pleasing finish.
The integrated isolators are based off the design of the award winning GAIA Series. The isolators use IsoAcoustics patented design which consists of a top isolator, bottom isolator and a connector. The isolation is a result of the way the 3 parts work together, so there is not a single path connecting the live equipment to the supporting surface. It is the shape, durometer and material characteristics of the isolators that are tuned for a given weight capacity. The isolators are absorbing the vibrations so they do not resonate through, or reflect off the hard supporting surface. The isolators are partially recessed into the butcher block and fastened into place for a strong connection to the butcher block.
The thicker 3” (76mm) butcher block provides more mass. The mass of the butcher block and the component are combined to more effectively diminish structural vibrations and resonances.
The DELOS models are designed to be used on a level surface. The DELOS Butcher blocks do not have height adjustment.
