Stack Audio Auva Isolator

vinlyshadow,

I have used and still have 2" Audiopoint’s. They look very similar if not the same.

They are good but the newer items like the Stack Audio footers, Critical Mass etc. are better.

IMHO that is.

Hello Ozzy,

My opinion remains the same.

If it is not an Audio Point then comparisons are useless. Material science, shape, and intended use are part of the design. Every cone is not and will not perform the same - guaranteed. 

If you guys are going to compare devices IMHO “compare the prices” of each product! 

Townshend made a lot of money comparing their $2,500.00 device to $12.00 worth of nail head steel spikes. Iso-Acoustics did the same thing. 

You have been marketed. 

This tactic happens more now than ever before in this industry. 

The one common factor you have in all of these comparisons is price. Compare apples to oranges if you want to, but remember, the equipment rack you are using controls all your outcomes. 

Stack Audio retails products here in America and has a Patent Pending listed on their website. We have an Agreement with and honor US Patent # 9858903B2 which entails processes that have a similar description to the Stack technology. I am not the Patent owner but I want you to know this is more fair and believable than marketing to the public through questionable testing methodologies.

@audiopoints "You have been marketed."

LiveVibes doesn't "market" potential customers? Do you not have a spiel which you expect to attract belief in and in turn generate sales

Might just be me but reading your spiel it is marketing, not unlike the marketing that you criticize your competitors of

Robert,

Didn’t I state that I own Audiopoint’s. And by the way, isn’t that your moniker? Aren’t you biased?

You get what you pay for, most of the time. The Audio Points are ok, but nothing compared to the Stillpoints, Iso-Acoustics, Critical Mass and Stack Audio and many other footers. I have tried them all. I relate them to the sound quality improvement that is achieved with these products. Price is another matter.

Of course this is my opinion, and you have yours!

@OZZY

Using various isolation products over the last 40+ years in my and other peoples systems, your comments that Audio points are just "OK" is a blanket understatement..

I have used many cones, racks, platforms and after decades settled with good results but nothing has worked as well in my system for unlocking the true potential as the Live-Vibe-Audio products, I have a Rhythm rack, Audio Points under speakers, Apprentice platform under Power distribution so 100% of their products under all my components and it is the end of the road for me my equipment and room/tastes.. and the most Musical/Natural sound I wanted to achieve.

In the past decades have used/owned Many products from BDR (Black Diamond Racing), Mapleshade, Poly Crystol, Goldmund, Stillpoints, Comback, Critcal Mass Systems, Shun mook, German Acoustics, Vibraplane, Herbies Audio Labs, and more that I'd have to think about...

All do different things to "change" the sound but by the end of the day I have found my end of the road products in what I am using.

It is fun playing with these things and can become expensive and frustrating at times, but trust your own ears.!!

Enjoy the Music that is what it's all About at the end of the day.
