Any update? Did you try them?
Stillpoints Ultra SS under your speakers?
Hi,
I'd like to hear anyone's experiences with replacing their speaker spikes with the Stillpoint Ultra SS isolation/vibration control devices. I did a search and found a few related threads, but I would like to hear more. I want to try them under my Merlin VSM-M's, and yes I know Bobby will strongly disapprove...
BTW, if it matters, my speakers are on a carpeted suspended wood floor.
Thanks!

I have used the Ultra SS and they were clearly better than the Edensound brass footers I had been using. At the same time, I managed to get hold of Track Audio Isolation feet, which are on sale in the US. The Stillpoints went back. Track Audio made a significant extra immprovement over the Stillpoints, in what footers, collectively, always seem to do, namely detail and base definition particularly. They are comparably expensive to the Stillpoint Ultras, so of course, try and get a loaner if you can, But I heartily recommend them, at least as used under my Daedalus Audio DA-RMAs |
I find it interesting that theres so much talk both here and in the rags about the Stillpoints vibration control devices... but no talk in comparison or aside about Finite Elementes vibration control devices. At the Ultras price point of $225 each, the Stillpoints devices darn well better work magic. In comparison, the Finite Elementes can be had for a song. I own the Finite Elemente Compact devices and like them. Did Finite Elemente do something to tick off the audio gods? |
Yes, Stillpoints is no longer the only one. Besides Track Audio (I just love their speaker stands), there is also Spiral Groove's Strange Attractors. I also love those laminated bamboo speakers, designed by Joachim Gerhard of Audio Physic fame! |
