Grand Prix versus Stillpoints


Anyone compared Grand Prix Monaco to Stillpoints Component stand? In my case it would be for amps.

Thank all of you for your efforts to further the accuracy of your systems. Music is a passion. It is a quest that will drive us insane, while necessary for our sanity. I would hope in the long run it brings us all great pleasure.
Your observations do corresponded to our design in the technology. We are quite different from all the dampening products on the market. Our products can move and release micro motion without absorption. All the products work in both directions, upward and downward independently. The acrylic we use was the item we found with the least signature for a reasonable price. There are some items in some systems that require a shelf. For those who can afford the extra expense ( $1100/ shelf for a 26 wide rack) our component stands added to a rack . The skeletal rack is our finest example of what we can accomplish in terms of music.
The newest of our designs is the stacking component stands rack or SCS. This was designed with a number of goals to accomplish.
#1 To bring the strength of our technology to a lower price range.
#2 Give customers a alternative performance wise, in cabinets and closets
#3 Increase the music per $ ratio
This rack is different from the ESS in total isolation per shelf. In our top of the line ESS rack. You get 64 planes of isolation per shelf. In the SCS you will get 16 to the bottom component (same as a component stands ) the next shelf will have the benefit of the 1st shelf technology so it will see 32 planes . The 3rd shelf will have 48 planes. This means the top shelf will always have the most isolation.
This modular buildable shelf structure is capable of being installed in the cabinet next to the fireplace. It will give the audiophile his desire for ultimate reproduction. It will also make the marital partner very happy still being out of sight. With some of the biggest book shelf speakers like the Harbeth and Escalante you can build you mono blocks into the bottom of a stacking rack and the speakers over the top of the amps.
We are always working on new ways to implement our technology. There will be a lot more coming from Stillpoints in audio and other arenas.
