If I had unlimited funds, I'd have Townshend Audio Seismic Pods under everything.

I have two words, Golden Sound Super DH (Diamond Hardness) Cones. NASA grade ceramics. The next hardest material next to diamond. 9 point 5 something on the Moh scale. For extremely rapid transfer of energy. Plus each DH Cone can support some unbelievable amount of weigh. Cannot beat with stick. Tip: they work like magic on top of components and speakers. geoff kait machina dynamica |
IMHO, having tried over the years most of what is listed above, I like the Stillpoints Ultra Fives and Ultra Minis and very much the Star Sound Audio Points, especially the new 2.5 larger version. Both maintain the pace of the music, but especially the Star Sound APs used with their Rhythm racks. The Stillpoint Ultra also sound best with their ESS racks. I have piles of ceramic, bad brass, aluminum, rubber, wood, plastic and steel, graphite, and lead feet. |
If You can afford it this is one of Technologies Best !! You have heard of Mag Lev Magnetic energy to Levitate. I just may buy one for my Vacuum tube pre amplifier Check this out, http://www.higherfi.com/hf/shelf1.htm |

I just may buy one for my Vacuum tube pre amplifier Check this out, http://www.higherfi.com/hf/shelf1.htm mag lev is sort of interesting but the nature of the beast is that you can never get the top plate completely free and clear of the bottom plate. The interface between two opposing magnets in a mag lev system is extremely "slippery" such that the top plate will slide over and locate itself against a stop post, providing a path for vibration to the component on the top plate. Still, I like mag lev stands and they're light years ahead of a lot of things. It’s easy enough to build your own mag lev iso platform with neodymium magents and short hollow tubes. cheers |
