Equipment Rack

Does it make sense to spend several thousands of dollars on a equipment rack, if Stillpoints are used under every component?

Somehow I’m thinking that people can read for themselves if they wish and come to their own conclusions. I’m not sure their conclusions though will be any different from the one being established here.

It seems to me that Robert’s invite to Geoff to visit with him would be the right way to show the differences or commonalities between Geoff’s thoughts and Robert’s.

also

If Geoff was sincere about tuning concepts he would be coming over to Michael Green’s TuneLand instead of coming to other forums pretending to represent what MG, or anyone else as far as that goes, is actually saying and more importantly doing.

The door is always open for those who wish to explore concepts and designs, but when forums reduce talks to dumbing down talk only, without the actual doing, the whole hobby is reduced to dumbing down.

As Robert invites Geoff to explore for himself so do we at Michael Green Audio. Talk is talk and walk is walk.

Yep, the industry sooner or later will turn to tuning vibrations rather than trying to kill them. When we take a look outside of the high end audio mainstream we see that tuning is the norm. For example musical instruments.

well, actually proof sometimes in not in the pudding. I’ve had Audiopoints myself, quite some time ago, as I was one of Mike Green’s first customers. While I like the effects of Audiopoints, real vibration isolation is better in every way. And actually, now that I think about it there are even other cones and pointed things that are better than Audiopoints, such as for example Golden Sound's NASA grade ceramic Super DH cones. Things have changed quite a bit since thirty years ago, I think it’s fair to say. Vibration Isolation and resonance control is one area that has changed considerably, you know, ever since the introduction of the Vibraplane - twenty years ago. Time flies when you’re having fun. Cough, cough. While you fellows have actually done, by dismissing vibration isolation, is obtain what we refer to as a local maximum.

Cheers,

Geoff Kait

I,m not a pro geoff ,all i know is they made a marked improvemnent in my setup (guitars ya i know my way around the 100 plus i have owned after 35 yrs ).I,m sure there are better or newer setups i cannot respond because i use the audiopoints.Regardless of anyones comments pro or con.I personnally used them first under my spkrs-tighter bass and better soundstage openess,
under my sub -massive change in performance.
Under my tt -i got better low end and a more open sound ,and also they look cool under it lol.
 they are now under every piece of gear i have including my rack and power supply .I am a fan personnally thats all i can say .No more no less ,they improved "MY" sound .
       and yes i remember the day tip toes came out also and the old sorbathene audioquest feet  i was there in the mix back then,I was a saleman in the 80-90s  There will always be something newer and better and also alot of hype surrounding it . thinking back i miss my vpi brick :)
