Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD

Geoffkait - whatever it takes. We’re audiphiles..... we do ridiculous things to get better sound. If I need to spend a bit of time getting the most out of these tweaky bastards then so be it. All in the name of good sound! Huzzah!

i have no intention of knocking anything off. My comment was in regards to CTSooner saying he’s going to try some simple pieces of ebony under his components when I mentioned the Shun Mook product. I simply stated that the Shun Mook Resonators were as far from a block of normal run of the mill ebony as a StillPoint is from a normal cylinder of Steel.

I thought you would go for four. 😊

Matt, you know I was kidding....well sort of.  I WILL get a few pieces as I have a couple of nice pieces of Gabon in the basement.  I was actually told by a few that they use them under their gear.  I may as well try ;)....  I have heard the same things about Shun Mook for years.  It can't defy physic's, it's just that we don't know enough about them.  I wonder if they stumbled onto how they work or if they figured something out that no one else has.  Regardless, it will be interesting to hear your thoughts as always Matt.  

BTW, you have have three pieces of steel AND aluminum piping that is 1.5" in diameter?  I'll even try to mix and match the two materials, ;).....

I honestly can't wait to hear your thoughts on this last (will it be last) round of footers/shelves.  You know how amazed I am at what you are doing here as you are not letting any biases creep in.  It's your ear and your gear, but there is an overall sound that you come up with so that folks can figure out for themselves, what they will like.  That's why this is a 4 year old thread and it's going strong...Very strong.

Just got off the phone to Dalby, they do still exist and they seem to be doing rather well outside the U.K. One of their many products is a footer at £3.5k a set. 

Unless I’m missing something the $3K Dalby feet do not employ ebony or even wood of any kind. Better check it out. 🙄 - your friend and humble scribe (onwards and upwards!)
