which component makes the most difference with vibrapods? I don't have a cd transport, but instead just apple tv feeding optically to Arcam Blackbox DAC, to Yamaha RX-A3000 as preamp, to Classe CAV75. which of those should I isolate for the greatest improvement? thanks.
Miketuason.....Those vibrapods make VPI's rubbery sounding. If you really want to improve the sound replace the mini feet with Bearpaws. VPI's need a solid platform, not a squishy one.
In case anyone is wondering....Bearpaws (available on the internet) are very large, very heavy, excellently made brass (I think) cones that screw into VPI's as a direct replacement to those mini feet. The upgraded performance is very easy to hear...not small at all. The entire soundstage, the increased bass and extended treble is there for all to hear.
Mike ....you don't have to, but Bearpaws really helps. Make sure you have a very sturdy table that the VPI is resting on. I seem to remember Vermontaudio.com The owner of the company extols the virtue of another of his products called soundstones - or something like that.....I didn't have much success with those.
