IsoAcoustics zaZen Isolation Platform
Composed from dense, void-less fibre and coupled with IsoAcoustics' patented isolating foot attachments, the zaZen is an isolation platform designed for use with turntables, tube amplifiers and other sensitive HiFi components.
zaZen is available in two sizes with alternative weight capacities. zaZen I measures a thickness of 38mm and holds up to 11.3kg of weight, while the zaZen II measures in at 44mm boasting a bulkier 18.1kg of maximum capacity.
The zaZen platform’s mass married with its integrated isolation technology serve to remove interference from structure-born vibration, allowing the operating HiFi component to perform at its very best and reveal new levels of acoustic clarity and detail.
Each zaZen isolation platform is finished in elegant black gloss to match neutrally with a wide variety of turntable and HiFi component aesthetics.

Jack Wilson – Easterly Winds – Blue Note (Tone Poet) 180g Vinyl
The six-song set presented four Wilson originals including the groovy opener “Do It” and the sublime ballad “Nirvanna” in addition to a tender rendition of the Johnny Mandel tune “A Time for Love” and “Frank’s Tune” by Frank Strozier, which was recently reimagined by Makaya McCraven on his 2021 Blue Note remix project Deciphering the Message.
Jackie McLean – Action Blue Note Tone Poet Series 180g Vinyl
The albums leaps out of the gate with McLean’s searing title track followed by two pensive Tolliver originals: “Plight” and “Wrong Handle.” On a highly original version of the standard “I Hear a Rhapsody” the melody is answered by discordant interjections from the horns before the album comes to a close with McLean’s grooving minor key piece “Hootnan.”
Jackie McLean – Demon’s Dance – Blue Note (Tone Poet) 180g Vinyl
Jackie McLean’s music weaved in and out of the avant-garde throughout the 1960s with the brilliant 1963 inside-out dates One Step Beyond and Destination… Out! eventually leading to full-throated free jazz of the 1967 dates New and Old Gospel (featuring Ornette Coleman on trumpet) and ‘Bout Soul. Demon’s Dance, which was recorded in December 1967, found the alto saxophonist maintaining a decidedly post-bop edge with a spirited quintet comprised of trumpeter Woody Shaw, pianist LaMont Johnson, bassist Scott Holt, and drummer Jack DeJohnette. The six-song set presented a pair of tunes each by McLean, Shaw, and composer Cal Massey with highlights including McLean’s churning title track, Shaw’s tuneful bossa “Sweet Love of Mine,” and Massey’s brightly swinging “Message from Trane” in tribute to the great John Coltrane who had passed away early that year. But the album’s most striking feature may be the unforgettable cover artwork by Mati Klarwein whose work also graced the cover of Miles Davis’ Bitches Brew.
