Stillpoints and reference-level speakers

Agear, I was unaware of the all brass version of the Star Sound Backstage. Thanks for the head up.

Charles1dad, the Stillpoints Ultra series and their racks, in my opinion, are not displaced by the Star Sound platforms. Platforms cannot replace feet in all circumstances. The two technologies have different characteristics also.

At one point I was totally shocked at how superior the Stillpoint's technology for absorbing vertical vibration were to the nearly countless points and feet of virtually every material and springs of many styles I now have in boxes. I fully understand how this technology works.

More recently I have experienced the Star Sound Technology Apprentices, which I know rest on a completely different thought, namely get the vibrations quickly as possible to ground.

What you hear with these two devices is quite different and a hard choice. One is quick and dynamic, especially evident on brass instruments and drums. The other gives a sound stage that is very defined and real.

Presently I use a mix as small devices do not work on the about 10 by 14 inch platforms and the Star Sound platforms are, as yet, not released.

Today I received 12 Stillpoints Ultra SS for my speakers and subwoofer. I will write a review about it in a few weeks.

@ TBG, awsome!, Are your polycrystal footers for componets?, I have the speaker spikes, I will no longer use the stillpoints ultra ss anymore!, TBG, if you have the big componet footers you would make my year!, I will pay shipping, I pay you for the poly componet footers as well too if you like, man, thankyou Norm.

TBG, I still plan to take your advise on the 103 stands for the speakers when I get the money together, I will give the star sound a whirl, I do trust your ears, norm, I have been thru alot, I just got my system back on line after a year and a couple weeks off line, you will not believe the hell I have been thru, it's like a audio horror story!, lots of money, heart ache, etc....Thankyou Norm.

Audiolabyrinth, remember what I said. First all I have is the little 1 inch or so round cones. I think I have two sets. And most important they are in Texas and I'm in New Mexico until late Sept.
