@rsf507 I am actually talking to a Carbide Audio rep now. Their product sounds interesting. If I go with footers or a device under my rack my top three would be the Townshend seismic corners, Carbide Audio footers, and the Nordost Sort Fut’s.
Isolation systems
I have an equipment rack that utilizes a system that has an anti-resonant material on the underside of the shelves. The rods supporting that rack are said to drain vibration from the rack into the rods and into the spiked footers. My question is, with this type of isolation system would Townshend seismic corners be beneficial or would they negate the system built into the rack. I hope this question makes sense. Trying to make improvements that would be improve on what I already have and not hinder. Thanks for any advice.

I’m in the process of moving my rack back a few feet and it’s going to be a pain. I have done some research on Carbide Audio, Townshend, and Nordost footers for racks, in place of the original spikes. For the prices they charge don’t really want to buy and not be sure if I hear a difference. Even, if I audition, I’d like to get it done to the one that on paper sounds the most promising. Taking that rack a part and reassemble and place equipment, will be a pain. I appreciate everyone’s input. Thanks |
I do have isolation devices under all my components. I have Symposium platforms and rollerblocks(some w superballs and double stacked) under all my equipment. It could be overkill adding isolation footers under the rack itself, but in order to open up more space between my rack and speakers, I’m moving my rack back. And, if I add footers to the rack this would be the time. Sounds like some think of you isolate the components the rack doesn’t require anything additional. Definitely will finish reading link sent by @ditusa. Thanks |
@rsf507 Due to a few purchases I made(audio related), I had to hold off on the footers. The Nordost Fut’s, would add too much height to my rack. So, I’m leaning towards the Carbide Audio Sapphire footers and the Townshend seismic corners as a second option. |
