Stillpoints and reference-level speakers

Yes Teajay, interesting findings. I have tried Stillpoints under my components and speakers. I got great results with Ultra Minis under my AC regenerator and more subtle ones when used under my DAC and integrated amp. Results have been less impressive when used under my Sonus Faber Auditor monitors. Maybe this is because the speaker and stand was supposedly designed together?? Anyway, I am going to give the Audiopoints a try under my speakers. I wonder if there will be any benefit given that my SF stands already has spikes.

Thanks Charles. I am just concerned about raising my speaker height too much with the Apprentice which would have the points both facing down and up.

This makes me wonder that perhaps Stillpoint's approach isnt the best for monitors which may seem to benefit more from coupling to large mass like to floor to deal with airborne vibrations whereas floorstanders have more issue with internal vibrations so fast dissipation is better?? Their weight already creates solid contact with the floor. Clearly I am not expert in this area but this may explain why I didnt hear much of any benefit from Stillpoints under my monitors.

I wouldn't say Stillpoints are junk. There is no audiophile product that is universally liked which is the fun/frustrating thing about our whacky hobby. For me, the Stillpoints worked great under my Ps Audio P3 but did nothing when placed under my int amp and cdp. Now this could be because my ears are not that acute or because my system is not resolving. Who knows. My wallet and I are just thankful. I just move on to the next tweak and say that the Stillpoints just didn't work for me but that doesn't mean they won't work for someone else.
