Know before you buy
The primary difference is the weight capacity. The zaZen I supports up to 25 lbs, while the zaZen II is built for heavier equipment, supporting up to 40 lbs.
Yes, the zaZen is designed for any sensitive audio equipment, including tube amplifiers, DACs, and CD players. It is particularly effective for components that are susceptible to vibrations.
By using patented isolation technology, the platform decouples your equipment from the surface it sits on. This minimizes structure-borne vibrations, which results in a lower noise floor and improved clarity and detail in your audio.
Even on stable surfaces, the zaZen provides an additional layer of isolation by preventing vibrations from traveling through the furniture. It is especially useful if your rack is located near speakers or in a room with foot traffic.
The zaZen platform is 38.1 mm thick. You should account for this height increase if your turntable is placed in a cabinet or under a dust cover with limited clearance.
No, the zaZen comes fully assembled with the isolators integrated into the platform. You simply place it on your desired surface and set your audio component on top.
