I am a Stillpoints user. I tried about a dozen other similar vibration devices under the same components to arrive at the ones that I use. Under my VPI TNT VI, I use a Townsend sink (solves VPI’s poor isolation problem). I had major vibration problems (my equipment sit on shot/sand filled heavy steel welded stands 25'+ from the speakers in an equipment alcove).
Under my rubber footed, custom made pre-amp, I use Stillpoint Ultra SS.
Under my EAR Acute CD player, I use ultra-minis
Under my Bryston BIT 20-isolation transformer, I use Ultra SS pointed side down.
Under my large 125w. tube monoblock amps, I use ultra-minis.
I swapped different types of Stillpoints as well as base up or down as well to determine what sounded best. The older Aurios were good under turntables but I found them to be on the bright side. The original Stillpoints were cruder design and prove to be warmer, less resolving then current designs.
Under an EAR 324 phono preamp, a buckwheat pillow beat out all other vibration designs (at least a dozen). It’s the cheapest too!
The pillow was superior to the standard equipment feet on all the above but Stillpoints beat it at much higher price. This took 18 years of experimenting with vibration devices.
I’d like to try Stillpoints phono center weight against my VPI premium heavy center weight. If it’s only slightly better, I’ll keep the VPI.
