My experience with the Stillpoints was limited to borrowing 1 set of 3 points and stands. After hearing rave results from a few people I was looking forward to hearing what they did for me. Under my Cd rotiserie they did nothing...... I tried 1 set under one speaker and heard a difference , but without 2 sets it was an invalid test. The CD player had me baffeled as supposedly everyone at the demo heard a big differrence. (One listener bought 4 sets 1 each for his new sound labs and 2 sets for his Wolcotts) Long story short I experimented with pads, marbles, silly putty, cups, and wooden discs. All of these were tried under my player. I was amazed at the different sound I could get from different arrangments. The silly putty won out. For my speakers I needed a littler height so I killed 2 birds by using 90 mm Bocce balls modified with a 9mm Stud. My floor is not level and as such the speakers would rock on there bases. My balls allowed a "coupling" effect with no floor dammage a leveling means an and a height increase I needed. Check my system for pictures. Regaurding the Stillpoints......In my application they obviosly didnt alter the coupling from the stock feet, hence no sound difference. On the websight they offer a good explanation of there design, very nice design theory. The question comes in when reading the description of how they function combined with the weight bearing capabilities.
"The weight of the component expands the second tier of balls, forcing them into the petals. The petals flex and counter the vibration, thereby absorbing it."
"Weight Capacity: 300 lbs per set of 3
(100 lbs per Stillpoint/Riser)"
Seems likely that my light weight player never "expanded" the petals therefore did not realize any benefit of decoupling.
BTW I do not doubt others spectacular results. Your results may vary.
My suggestion is to experiment with low cost solutions. Detimine which results in the best sound then purchase a purpose built device which most closely emulates what your experimentations dictate you need in your system.
