Big Rock CAD

About the Big Rock CAD

The Brightstar Big Rock CAD Amp is part of Bright Star Audio's Ultimate Isolation System, designed to improve the sonic performance of audio components such as amplifiers and preamps. It acts as a mass damping device that mass loads the Air Mass isolation platform, significantly lowering its resonant frequency to around 1.5Hz when combined with other Bright Star isolation elements. This results in improved isolation performance, reducing mechanical resonance and vibration that can degrade audio quality. The Big Rock CAD Amp is sized to match various audio components and is filled with sand by the user to provide substantial mass (e.g., about 35 pounds for the Big Rock 2 model). It has been reported to enhance sound focus, smoothness, bass richness, and detail, contributing to a more defined and fatigue-free listening experience. The device is compatible with tube and solid-state amplifiers, including models like the Cary CAD 805, Jadis, and VTL amplifiers. Pricing for the Big Rock CAD Amp is around with additional cost options such as black granite paint. Dimensions for related Big Rock models can be approximately 14 x 25 x 4.5 inches, with weights varying by size and sand fill. The product is not an amplifier in the traditional sense but an isolation platform accessory that improves amplifier performance by mechanical means.
