ADD POWR Sorcer X4

Sorry tried to edit my last post, but too late.

I noticed that the Sorcer has an even greater effect if it has soft footers underneath. So, I am currently using a thick sponge like material underneath instead of the $$$ Stillpoints Ultra footers.

That's why I thought I would also try Geoff springs.

Hi Ozzy

Thanks for posting. I’m interested in what differences Machina Dynamica (Geoff Kait) springs make. Another very good option are perhaps Townshend’s Pods, we are using Max Townshend’s Podiums under the Cube Nenuphar’s speakers with great success.

Even better I believe would be Ingress cup and rollers, a platform of slate and those springs under the slate.

Did you speak to Bill Stierhout ( designer of  the ADD Powr) about how best to install? Any updates on the sound improvements, do things get better over time? Apart from the PPT Omega Mats applied directly to the ADD Powr unit, have you found any other tweaks that are not compatible?

Thanks for your time.

I was wondering since all of those transformers create teenie vibrations, maybe a set of medium DH Labs cones? ....to drain the nasties away. I own a few sets of the Stillpoints Ultra SS and depending upon the weight of the Sorcer, the Ultras may be overkill?

toetapaudio,

Yeah, I think the springs work pretty good, better than my Stillpoints. They are also just the right size to go over the Sorcer footers.
Talking to Bill has just been through email, I believe he has been out of the country. Just got an email from him today.

So far placing a couple of Uptone LPS 1.2 linear power supplies (that powers my ISO Regen and SOtM) on top of the Sorcer did affect the sound quality. I don’t know if the Sorcer was affected or the power supplies. My guess it was the power supplies because the Sorcer has some huge transformers.

slaw,

Thanks for posting. The Sorcer probably weighs 45lbs. So the Stillpoints should be within there capability. 
I think something that allows the Sorcer to float, not stabilize, works the best (so far).
