Stillpoints - snake oil?


Anybody here using Stillpoints Ultras? My dealer thinks highly of them, but I am very suspicious.

"Tuning" a system for each recording reminds me of the guys who adjust the VTA/SRA of their stylus for every record. You have GOT to be kidding! Life is too short to waste on such nonsense.
@duckworp---Have you considered getting Townshend Seismic Pods (or platforms, etc.) for using under your speakers? That is suppose to be one of their most effective uses, so if you’re happy with the Seismic Corner Supports, you might be with the Pods as well. I have them under my Townshend Rock Elite turntable, and am sold. I’ll be getting them for my speakers soon. They are about the same price as the IsoAcoustics GAIA 1's.
The roller bearings made by Symposium, Ingress Engineering, and FIM each use one ball bearing per foot. How many are in each Stillpoint? The more ball bearings, the more friction and noise, etc.
Roger Modjeski doesn't provide ANY power cord with his Music Reference RM-200 power amp, saying he figures everyone has an unused computer cord in a drawer, or will be using an aftermarket cord anyway.
