Stillpoints - snake oil?

A downside of more points of connection is, each one carries less weight. Part of the design is to channel all the weight through. When there are 'more than three', the problem arises of balancing the stress each is under. IE with four, one may be slacking off. With five, two may be slacking off, and creating more problems. It is a lot harder to adjust FIVE than four. When I had speaker stands with four spikes, I had to use a system to allow me to pull on a film under the spike on a pad. So I could find the height that gave each foot the same pressure. a PITA if I wanted to move them. (had to do all over again.) with five, just adds to it.

@dgarretson Thank you. My issue with Star Sound (I'm sold on their performance) is around ’tippiness’ since I have a 4 year old son. Had I not had this concern for the past two years or so, I’d likely have their system for my speakers.

Townshend Seismic Isolation Platforms are my top choice, for safety reasons; however, my dealer is advising Stillpoints over Townshend for performance.

@elizabeth The Townshend platform is easily adjustable at all four points.

@djones51....What is your problem ?..........@geoffkait, shouldn't it be fear and loathing ?  I was a believer of a product called Anti Vibration Magic, or, AVM ( unfortunately out of business I believe ), and know first hand, by listening, that this stuff works. Same for Dynamat, and other similar products. I am talking about " inside the components ". I have taken amps, such as an Adcom GFA 535 series 2, or a Hafler DH220, and made them sound more like the big boys, with their 1/2 inch aluminum faceplates and heavy duty chassis's. Same with preamps, dacs, transports, etc. I am a tweaker, no doubt, and have been for 50 years. First one to put mortite under the platters of turntables ( out of all those I knew ), to eliminate ringing. All of this damping and isolation matters, and these products, whether snake oil to some, makes a difference, by listening. Enjoy ! MrD.

Fear and loathing wouldn’t have been funny. Never mind.
