I tried a whole bunch of different things under the tube power supply to my phono stage about 5 years ago. Wound up with Stillpoints SS. But, believe it or not, the Vibrapod cone plus puck did add a clarity without any stridency- not as much as the Stillpoints, but cheap. Among the things I tried were Herbies Tall footers (softened the sound), Aurios (like an enclosed roller block- unbelievable clarity but added a bite that quickly became intolerable); HRS footers and plates (fine, didn’t do much); a set of old Goldmund cones I had from biblical times (didn’t do much) and maybe one other.
Alternatives to Stillpoints
I am using the Stillpoints Ultra SS with good success in some of my gear. Looking to complete two more sets. Then it hit me, is there anything better (preferably cheaper) out there?
