Stack Audio Auva Isolator


I just ordered a set of these. They are supposed to be better than the Iso-Acoustics or even the Townshend podiums for speakers.

Anyone try these yet?

I would like to know how the Stack AUVA EQ compares to Stillpoints SS Ultra.

@wcheng2 has reported its not as good as the Critical Mass, but they are very expensive. The AUVA is bargain priced compared to other isolation footers. The SmoothLAN is as well, so it must be the philosophy of Stack Audio to provide great value.

I have one set of the Stillpoints SS Ultra and its frankly amazing on any component, even the power distributor, or the Nordost grounding box. I wish I had 5x more sets, but if the AUVA EQ is close it would be great as its 1/6th the price of a set of Stillpoints.

 

 

I had 24 Starsound audiopoint footers all with matching coupling discs for my entire system. They were good but the Stillpoints Ultra SS easily bested the Audiopoints. And they should have being 4x the price!
But I only mention this because I resent the owner and manufacturer of Audiopoints coming into this thread and schilling their own product especially when they obviously know nothing about the Stack Audio AUVA.

Tom even used his personal account here to pretend he was just an enthusiast who had tried every footer on the market ( he reeled off every name to Ozzy).

Its just wildly inappropriate and let’s cut it out.

Are the 2" Audiopoint’s that I own the same as the ones you are currently selling as Vibe Audio? If so, aren’t they still just a brass point sitting into a brass cup?

No they are not just brass pointed footers in a cup. The Audiopoints have a specific 'columb' shape that is supposed to dissipate resonance more effectively. I found them way better than standard brass pointed footers. But they did not compete at all with the (much more expensive) Stillpoints Ultra SS, which is my current reference.

 

Yes I got mine from Star Sound as well. The new company name looks to have the exact same names and product codes as before so you would presume it’s the same footers.
