Equipment Rack


Does it make sense to spend several thousands of dollars on a equipment rack, if Stillpoints are used under every component?

I've sat back and watched this thread roll along..I feel a need to respond to the conversation.I have a hard time understanding the constant banter and nit picking of everyones choices here on the gon .People come here to converse and share ideas and there experiences with products or music.I play a Paul Reed Smith guitar. We could argue all day as to why I prefer a specific pickup.I could have someone explain till the cows come how why the winding is better,This I know I prefer my McCarty pickups,because I have tried hundreds of guitars.My point is "What does it do in MY system"?. One guy raves over blue jean cables "oh there great" ..well dam sure not in my system, tried them and many others.I use Acoustic Zen because they sound good in my setup( and were not 25k) the difference is clearly noticable .I can say I have had atleast an hour long conversation with Robert at Starsound .I emailed him and he called me at home to answer my questions.We talked at great length about Star sound,music and being musicians.Never did he pressure me, actually he offered me a chance to try his products for my guitar amps and home audio.I find it interesting that he has offered a plane ticket or open ended chance to try his gear to a few here.Even a in house visit but that is snake oil ?  To try it in your own system with the product owner there?.He was very respectful and offered alot of options from less expensive to thru the roof money.I am in the process of trying some of his products.Proof is in the pudding to this guy, will it make a difference? There are many who say it does and also many who say geoffs springs do too!.Whatever works for you and your budget.

I am not a scholar of vibration so i just can’t comment,I respectfully digress to the pros.I think as many there is a point of diminishing return and it really becomes whats the ’hot thing" .I can say some tweeks most certainly work period,others I think may on a serious setup.I remember when tip toes,vpi bricks etc etc came out I was a saleman people thought I was out of my mind.

I can say as a "Novice" of vibration I find it a stretch to understand how a tone through my phone will inprove my system.But i do not discredit it because it may do just that.If you remember a thread I asked " Hey guys send me springs and starsound platform I will put them under my tube guitar amp and my various audio gear and I will give an honest answer( I know niether of you need my approval).You didnt respond Robert did,I do believe your springs work they are proven throught the world .I would think they would be a big improvement under my sub. I have 33 yrs in audio( salesmen at The Discerning Ear in Md late 80s- 90s.) and have been a musician for 35 yrs i have tried hundreds if not thousand of ridiculious tweeks to real deal stuff while many applauded at my house and others laughed at me.If it works I believe it, I guess thats why one of the biggest threads here is on fuses lol
Respect to all

geoff ,
So i guess what your saying is "If i am interested in a product of yours i cannot purchase it? How is that a  strong business plan? I came to this site to find new and inovative products and learn more about the audio gear world.But yet i cannot buy a product from you? That is more confusing then your detailed explanations on seismic wave theory.. Very puzzeled and confused.
Geoff
With all due respect,thats like saying" oh i’m sorry you have been to my concert and seen me live sorry you cannot buy my album" again dazed and confused....
You told me which of your springs to use under my tt and said running your springs under my sub would be a great idea in another thread.At no point ever have I been disrespectful to you ,I could understand a member who you have an issue with but any forum member cannot give you money for your "product" your tweek is on the gon for 2bucks if i bid on it you wont sell it to me ? huh.
This is more confusing then cold fusion lol
geoff .
You seem to respond to every comment but yet I asked what is the conflict of interest with selling me a spring?  A positive or negative thread about your "product" .And again if i bid the 2 dollars for your "tweek" you wouldnt sell it to me? 

 Again dazed and confused ....
 
Once again ,I say if it works use it.Although in all apps it may not.
Proof is in the pudding! ... Thats why an open forum is key in my opinion of course there will always be positive ,negative and comical comments.


I personnally have decide to rebuild my entire house on springs, create my own fusion generator, uv bubble dome the entire place, control atmosphere to a perfect temp and humidity.Then allow my audio room to float on a magnetic system with solid 24" thick lead walls.Then i will feel comfortable hooking up that bose wave system :)
....
Hey agear i play guitar ! now thats is annoying lol ( why do you need 20 plus guitars ?? That ones is all scratched up and old lol) ... Pick up a trumpet and start learning it in the living room your lady will love your system.. Lol 
excellent ,i have an 19mnth  Jan17th she loves music ,she will be a musician for sure ...


Like i said before the proofs in the pudding ... I am a fan of let it vibrate it has made a noticeable difference for the better i run all audiopoints top to bottom 
I,m not a pro geoff ,all i know is they made a marked improvemnent in my setup (guitars ya i know my way around the 100 plus i have owned after 35 yrs ).I,m sure there are better or newer setups i cannot respond because i use the audiopoints.Regardless of anyones comments pro or con.I personnally used them first under my spkrs-tighter bass and better soundstage openess,
under my sub -massive change in performance.
Under my tt -i got better low end and a more open sound ,and also they look cool under it lol.
 they are now under every piece of gear i have including my rack and power supply .I am a fan personnally thats all i can say .No more no less ,they improved "MY" sound .
       and yes i remember the day tip toes came out also and the old sorbathene audioquest feet  i was there in the mix back then,I was a saleman in the 80-90s  There will always be something newer and better and also alot of hype surrounding it . thinking back i miss my vpi brick :)

I grew up very close to the original factoryin crownsville  md. and was fortunate enough to be around in the late 80s 90s and some great bday parties for paul ,some real talent would play.I live not far from santa rosa now ..thumbs up

my guitars are in tune    : ) 
and my guitar collection dwarfs my audio gear,even those old worn out les pauls and those Paul Reed Smith  pre units
oh shiiiz they aren't  the new thannnggg : )


Hmm well gee wilikers i may not be all book smart and have fancy Sunday clothes. 😁 But i must say reading the banter on this thread is like a comedy skit ..  And my chuckle today was on the questions on ebay .. And at 50 yrs old geoff i may have a few things outside of audio gear i could teach you . Believe it or not
