Stillpoints - snake oil?


Anybody here using Stillpoints Ultras? My dealer thinks highly of them, but I am very suspicious.

@david_ten Unfortunately, the profile of my current speaker is too narrow for a Starsound platform. It’s difficult to compare the two manufacturers, as Starsound racks are complete systems and Stillpoints are footers. I do prefer Stillpoints for TTs, as they can also function as leveling devices.

@tobor007 The theory is that a good footer also serves to conduct vibration out of a component to earth.

@dgarretson Thank you. My issue with Star Sound (I'm sold on their performance) is around ’tippiness’ since I have a 4 year old son. Had I not had this concern for the past two years or so, I’d likely have their system for my speakers.

Townshend Seismic Isolation Platforms are my top choice, for safety reasons; however, my dealer is advising Stillpoints over Townshend for performance.

@elizabeth The Townshend platform is easily adjustable at all four points.
@djones51....What is your problem ?..........@geoffkait, shouldn't it be fear and loathing ?  I was a believer of a product called Anti Vibration Magic, or, AVM ( unfortunately out of business I believe ), and know first hand, by listening, that this stuff works. Same for Dynamat, and other similar products. I am talking about " inside the components ". I have taken amps, such as an Adcom GFA 535 series 2, or a Hafler DH220, and made them sound more like the big boys, with their 1/2 inch aluminum faceplates and heavy duty chassis's. Same with preamps, dacs, transports, etc. I am a tweaker, no doubt, and have been for 50 years. First one to put mortite under the platters of turntables ( out of all those I knew ), to eliminate ringing. All of this damping and isolation matters, and these products, whether snake oil to some, makes a difference, by listening. Enjoy ! MrD.
