About the Big Rock 3

The Bright Star Audio Big Rock 3 is a high-mass, sand-filled isolation base measuring approximately 15 x 19 inches, designed specifically to support turntables and reduce unwanted vibrations that can affect audio performance. It is part of Bright Star's Ultimate Isolation System and is known for its ability to significantly lower mechanical resonant frequencies, thereby improving sound clarity and reducing noise floor. The Big Rock 3 weighs about 20 pounds when filled with sand, which the user typically supplies, allowing for customization of the sand type for optimal vibration control. Optional IsoNodes, proprietary rubber feet made from a special polymer, can be added to enhance isolation further. The Big Rock 3 is praised for its effectiveness in tightening bass, increasing sonic transparency, and smoothing treble, making it a favored choice among audiophiles for turntable isolation. It is also noted for its sturdy construction and ability to support heavy components securely.
