Vibration control question....


If I have access to a 18"x12"x3" block of granite for my CD player, would it be best to use spikes or can I keep using the vibrapods that I am using now ? Thanks in advance for any input.

I am using the same size Granite Block myself,Its actually a Starret measurung block 20x20x3" and I have tried both.I depends on what your looking to do.With the Vibrapods the sound is warmer but has less air and definition,than with spikes.Using BDR racing cones , are somewhere in the middle of the Brass spikes and Vibrapods.My system is all tubes,so for me I stayed with the Audiopoint brass spikes under my cd player..You really need to experiment to really find out for sure.It really depends on your ears and what your loooking for.There are also many other variations of footers to use......Good luck
THE BEST THINGS THAT I HAVE COME ACROSS AND USE THEM ON GRANITE AS WELL AND FIND THEY ARE VERY NEUTRAL MEANING THEY OFFER NO SOUND OF THEIR OWN IS THE LAT INTERNATIONAL
VIBRA-KILLERS. I REPLACED MY STILLPOINT SYSTEM WITH THESE. AT 39.95 FOR 3 LARGE ONES THEY ARE A BARGAIN. THEY ALSO DO NOT TRANSFER VIBRATIONS DOWN TO THE NEXT COMPONET AS THE MATERIAL THEY USE CONVERTS THE ENERGY FROM VIBRATIONS INTO HEAT. IT ALSO ALLOWS YOU TO PLACE A COMPONENT ON TOP OF ANOTHER ONE AND THERE IS NO TRANSFER OF ENERGY OR VIBRATION TO THE COMPONENT BELOW. I ALSO DO NOT LIMIT THEM TO GRANITE AS THEY SOUND OR HAVE NO SOUND PLACED ON ANYTHING. CHECK OUT THE WEBSITE, IF YOU CALL THERE ASK FOR LOU.

Have you ever been to the AudioPoints website and looked at reviews on the Audio Points and Sistrum stands http://www.audiopoints.com/reviews.html?

This is what I use with fantastic results!
