Rack Isolation for Amps and Electronics

You should look at the vibration control forum over at What's Best Forum  https://www.whatsbestforum.com/

Lots of discussion on this topic and these specific products there

Try the best Symposium Acoustics great sound and value.

SRA (Silent Running Audio) and Sound Anchors both make excellent platforms and stands.


I regard them as essential in my system.

Get the rack you like then isolate each component on low profile springs. No more problem! Spend the money you save on new tunes. 🤗

I use a combination of Nordost SortKones (TC), Stillpoints Ultra 6's and Critical Mass (Black Diamond shelf and Center Stage2 footers).  

Stillpoints: The Ultra 6's are made like a Swiss watch and are very easy to use. I use 3 under my Innuos server. They are very effective in bringing out every detail within the recording. Images within the soundstage are pinpointed and bass is very deep and detailed. They can be used on top of any rack shelf and don't need any other isolation shelf to enhance them.  

Critical Mass: I use the Black Diamond shelf with (4) 1.0" Center Stage2 footers under my amp. I experimented with the footers under my amp, music server and in conjunction with the Black Diamond shelf. The results when using the footers with the shelf was pure magic! This comes at a steep cost for sure. The Center Stage2 footers don't need any other isolation shelf to sound fantastic.

Stillpoints seem to be more analytical and a cooler tonally where Critical Mass are warmer, richer and more holographic. I could see someone with an all tube warmer system preferring the Stillpoints and someone with a cooler solid state system liking the Critical Mass line. I prefer Critical Mass and will continue to add more CS2 footers to my system....also Ultra 6's are usually used in sets of 3 where Center Stage2 footers are recommended to be used in sets of 4.

Hope this helps
