Stillpoints Ultra 5

Wolf, you must be kidding us. Under speakers you want either spikes or something that absorbs energy very well. That rubber is neither.
I use both Polycrystal spikes and Boston Audio tuneblocks for speakers with excellent results. Never tried anything else except stock spikes, that were junk.

Wolfie might have a point (cough, cough) here since the Vibrapods act like springs. Like air springs. You know, to decouple the speakers and prevent mechanical feedback. Don’t knock it if you haven’t tried it.

sometimes you feel like a 'couple' sometimes you feel like a 'de-cuopling'.

Different situations, different solutions.

just the building’s own architecture can shove one down this path or another. second story floors, floors without significant support direct ot the foundation have different problems to address.

there are tons of things to try out. thankfully. or regretably.

these [things are ones I keep hearing about in various articles so I am interested.

not having actually seen them, would someone care to describe then and their intended purpose or why their maker says these are the end all in resonance attenuation?

Are these the NOrdost points?

Footers? spikes? For use with speakers, racks, stands, or with components?

thanks.?

Sometimes I feel like Francis Ford Coppola, sometimes I don’t. If your goal is reducing mechanical feedback you better feel like decoupling since coupling insures mechanical feedback. You can also employ damping or some sort of energy dissipation along with the decoupling. On the other hand if you’ve already isolated the electronics, go ahead, couple at will. If you decide to go the cones route be sure to choose those NASA grade ceramics since they couple the best. You know, due to their superior hardness, much harder than steel or brass or aluminum or whatever.

I did try Vibropods under cd player, they did okay.
