Stillpoint component stand with Verity Parsifals

Edorr, I don't know the answer to your question as it relates to a 6 year old post.

What I can tell you is the new Stillpoints Ultra (made from Stainless steel) is the best from Stillpoints and the best footer I've heard. I bought two sets a week or so ago and have been trying them under everything.

The Ultra is an expensive item, but then again so is the Verity Parsifal. If you cannot justify the purchase price, the old model Stillpoints is an excellent product and likely still next best.

Albert, are you using the Stillpoint Ultra's direct to the carpet? I was considering a set of 4 of the Alum. model for my Parsifals but wonder if that would work direct on the carpet as opposed to carpet piercing spikes.

I am still trying to figure how I would set up a stand under my speaker on carpet. Would I just put four mini inverted risers on the carpet and place the stand on it?

I'm not qualified to answer, I've always had my isolation products (Grand Prix, Stillpoints, etc) on a hard floor.

I suggest calling Paul at Stillpoints and ask his advice, no doubt this comes up every day for him. If you get an answer please post here so I and everyone else can read.

I did call Bruce, he is very helpful and a wealth of information. He recommends using the Ultra bases directly onto the carpet. He feels that there is little difference between floor types with the stillpoints as they are very effective in dissipating energy independent of the floor type. His first recommendation with be the ultra base directly onto the floor. The standard stillpoint would need an inverse riser otherwise the carpet would contact the stillpoint body and not the the wt. bearing center. I thought of another advantage of the ultra, it will make changes in positioning easier, which is very important in the Parsifal as I have found it sensitive to positioning. Guess I need to order some extra stillpoints.
