Synergistic Research MIGS


Have anyone used these before? If so what is your experience?

Hi Bacardi.

The Stillpoints were used under SS Amps and a DAC. They make adapter threads that you can use to replace the feet that are on your components. Or you can just place them under without any attachments. They come with a "top or cap" that you unscrew and attach the threads.

Depending on the component (and your budget) you would use three to four feet.

Everyone was amazed by the improvement they made under the SS Amps. We tried it with and without them being attached to the amps. I preferred them attached and that is the recommended approach. It was a three feet configuration as that is the way the amps feet are.

I would say both the Tube and the Oppo would benefit. If you want them attached then you have to go with four. However three might be fine under the Oppo. You would still get additional improvement with the forth Stillpoint but it would be less then under components that would need the forth. It is best to ask Bruce at Stillpoints.

As for your Sub (and other components) you need the SS Ultra footers. Also you will not need the platform as the Stillpoints are designed to be placed on the floor including a rug. You should email Stillpoints or call them. Talk to Bruce Jacobs and he will guide you as to what level and how many. You will get the most bang using them under your speakers. I plan on doing that under my B&W 802Ds any week now. I will post my findings.

Good luck and let me know how it goes for you.
I got the MIGS yesterday and I am very disappointed. I'm shipping them back today.
Taters, try the Stillpoints Ultra Mini if you can fit them in your budget. I found them better then several other footers. I feel you would have to spend a lot more to do better. I have had Finite Elemente (both the ceraball and cerapuck)(though the ceraball are less money so they might be an alternative for you) and they were very good but IMHO I thought the Mini were better. The others I would prefer not to name.

Good luck.
Old thread, but I just sampled the MiGs for myself. I was pretty disappointed with the performance. They claim vast improvements and I struggled to hear any changes in system performance on two very different systems in two very different rooms. I can only conclude that these are system-dependent. Maybe if your CDP has a ton of mechanical vibration they will make a difference for you. If not, there are other, cheaper alternatives to sample.
