Seems logical to assume that the makers of megabuck speakers would use superior footers in their designs. Any experience out there with Stillpoints isolation devices to support the reference-level offerings from Magico, TAD, Rockport, Tidal, and others?
Bacardi, I had never heard of them. They look like another effort to find the magic mix of resonance frequencies. I see there is a distributor in Canada, but cannot find if anyone sells them in the US.
The designer, apparently his line of work was on submarines isolating the computer from the submarine. So resonance control for sure but compared to the Stillpoints, I did a 2 hour comparison back and forth with the Oritons and definitely the Oritons did more better. My conclusions aren't even the subject to resonances, they are better defined and isolated frequencies(bass, midrange,highs) .
Bacardi, I suppose everyone's opinions rest on what the hear. Were I able to get some of the Oritons, I would try them. Until that they seem just another mix of resonance frequencies that seek to cope with the bad influence of vibrations on circuits, and having tried probably fifty different such devices, I will stick with the StillPoints or the Star Sound Apprentice platform that seek coupling rather than isolation.
Audiolabyrinth, at least with the HFCables, you hear a very sharp leading edge and the decay of notes in the recording studio or hall. Lead singers do sound to be right in the plane of your speakers. They sound present.
