Equipment Rack


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

Like i said before the proofs in the pudding ... I am a fan of let it vibrate it has made a noticeable difference for the better i run all audiopoints top to bottom.

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.

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 :)

Hi oleschool

Don't worry about Geoff, he hasn't owned an in-room stereo system going on 10 years now according to him. Kind of hard to be credible on audio topics when he doesn't even practice the hobby.

Pretty cool that you get to go from playing your guitars to playing your music collection. Many of my clients are musicians. In some of my stereo stores I would build a tunable listening room on one side and a recording studio on the other. Nothing like comparing apples to apples.

have fun

and my guitar collection dwarfs my audio gear,even those old worn out les pauls and those Paul Reed Smith  pre units

PRS excellent! I was doing some stuff in Santa Rosa with folks working on amps for Santana and one of the guys pulled out a PRS proto type. Beautiful wood work!
