Anybody tried Steve Blinn's Isoped footers?
I have been looking for Stillpoints at reasonable price on the Gon for the lest few weeks. Generally speaking, used Stillpoints are at 75% of retail pricing, which is still a very expensive tweak IMHO. I have read many positive reviews on these products and I am sure that owners of these Stillpoints are very happy with their product.
However, my project consisted of installing 8 brand new Ultra 5 Stillpoints on Mye Sound speaker stands used for my refurbished Apogee Duetta Signature speakers. Started looking at market price for these (8 * $700 = $5,600) which made no sense to me. Was ready to compromise with the Stillpoints SS version (8 * $250 = $2,000). Then I saw Steve Blinn's ad on a new series of footers named Isoped.
Gave Steve a call to get some general information on the Isoped and decided to start conservatively purchasing 3 mid-size Isoped to test these on my Benchmark DAC. The idea was to spend a minimal amount of money and see where it would get me. If they did not work out to my taste for any reasons, I could always resell them at 50% of my acquisition cost. So my potential loss would be of $187 (3 * $125)/2. Started listening to some of my favorite CDs and within about ten minutes concluded that I needed to purchase an additional bunch of these babies.
Essentially what you will get is slam solid and extended bass, bigger soundstage and overall increase in low-level resolution without breaking the bank. One of the best bang for the buck tweaks I purchased in a long time. The overall build quality is great.
So I am going forward with my project at basically half price (8 * $125 = $1,000). I just love competition in the marketplace. Anybody else who experienced that product? I would certainly would like to get your comments.
Disclaimer: I am a regular audiophile interested in advancing the quality of my audio system using reasonable amount of money. I have no direct or indirect interest in Steve Blinn Design company. I' m just happy when somebody brings new tweaks at a reasonable price point and wanted to share this with the Gon community.
