@geoffkait, I know somebody in the U.K. who recently had both the Minus K and Stacore side by side in his system for evaluation. The long and short is that he thought the Stacore worked better in his system and he now has four. Active vs passive systems, he preferred the passive solution.

>>>>The Minus K is not an active device. Maybe you’re thinking of a different device. Besides Stacore’s claim that 6 degree of freedom isolation is finally achieved with the their addition of roller bearings is not true.I introducted the first audiophile 6 degree of freedom isolation stand 21 years ago, a passive pneumatic device. Besides, anyone can add a stage of roller bearings to his spring-based system for better performance. That’s actually what audio recording guru Barry Diament recommends, as does your humble scribe.

@geoffkait , I stand corrected. 

Regarding Orea’s, there’s no tech on their website. Anybody know what’s inside/speculate on what’s inside them. I’m Not usually a big fan of rubber but these work.

@toetapaudio   since you had asked & i hope i'm disturbing of hijacking  the good doc's thread. Apologies if i'm.
i had considered getting a torus or an equitech.
Since i'm based in india the customs duty & red tape is a bit forbidding, Hence i've decided to get a custom made solution from a local company who specialises in making it for various industries .
I'm getting 6X2.5 kva balanced power units. & will be adding a grounding product( Most probably a mix of entreq & telos) in the mix.

Stacore has been getting great reviews lately , among many others another brand which is also gets recommended often on  this side of the atlantic esp in euorpe is another polish company called http://f-franc.com/portfolio/platform/
I've seen it being used in quite a few rooms in Munich, but of course there could me many reasons to it.

Perfect example of Stove Piping. 🏭 Oft times times things get developed like stove pipes for better or worse. Over here we use our own Isolation stands. Townsend seems to be the big exception. Whereas you guys use your own isolation stands. Oblivious to the other guys’. How many isolation devices are there now, worldwide? 20? 30? More?
