Stillpoints and reference-level speakers


Seems logical to assume that the makers of megabuck speakers would use superior footers in their designs. Any experience out there with Stillpoints isolation devices to support the reference-level offerings from Magico, TAD, Rockport, Tidal, and others?

In relation to the stillpoint ultra SS's, I have done a direct comparison with the Ultras to a set of Oriton SC35's and preferred the Oritons. Increased resolution, well defined and tighter bass(not muddy), greater focus around vocals and instruments and soundstaging was better focused. I will add more throughout my system components. Oriton can make a larger footer than the SC35 but for my Casta D8 floorstanders I am very curious to try the sistrum Apprentice SP-SA-103's. The sistrum footprint seems to
fit well with the Casta's and I will be ordering a pair very soon.

I suggest if you tried the SP Ultra SS's and liked the sound, give the Oritons SC-35's a try, you may prefer them at a way cheaper price point.
The designer, apparently his line of work was on submarines isolating the computer from the submarine. So resonance control for sure but compared to the Stillpoints, I did a 2 hour comparison back and forth with the Oritons and definitely the Oritons did more better. My conclusions aren't even the subject to resonances, they are better defined and isolated frequencies(bass, midrange,highs) .
