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?

Bo1972, once you put a component on the Sistrum, you won't see the darn thing anyway. And let's face it, a lot of audio gear is ugly as hell.
Bo the Audio Consultant? Hardly! Maybe interior decorator is more appropriate.

There are some wild looking amps and speakers out there but with so much competition in these areas, it's easy to find one of great sound and acceptable looks. And such products can make quite a physical presence in the room. But with few standout isolation products, dismissing a top notch performer because of cone color is ridiculous at best.
With rare exceptions (such as recordings with phase anomalies), two-channel stereo doesn't produce 3-dimensional sound.
My experience of 30+ years paints quite a different picture. And without exception, such performance requires a tube line stage / preamp with tube regulated PS to pull it off in spades.

When I can follow musicians moving around on stage, closer to me and further from me, and not just lateral positional changes, I'd call that 3D.
The Sistrum stands greatly interest me for electronics but I'm concerned of my products sitting on sharp tips that will indent or scratch up the bottom of the product. Is there a solution to this?
Gucci electronics indeed. Yes, TBG pointed out the little disks and the scotch tape trick to resolve my concern. Thank you guys.
