Vibration control question....

I have been very satisfied with Starsound's Audiopoints. Been using them for years. Can you tell me more about Adona. What components did you hear them on? Were you able to AB them directly on the same rig? I'd be very interested to hear your specific experiences with Adona vs Audiopoints. Inquiring minds want to know....thanks in advance, warren :)

Adona Corporation's brass cones and coupling discs are just as effective as Starsound but less expensive. Check them out.

Just straight underneath the cd player into the Granite.It took me awhile to get use to it.It just seems to give more air and definition. I fought with it for awhile,but in the end the Audiopoints were and are the clear winner for me..I think we all tend to not try something long enough.For the price its a bargian for sure.
I got a tip from Warren ( pretty sure it was him ) on the Audioponits and went back and forth with the Vibrapods but eventually agreed that the Audiopoints were superior in deed....God Luck

I second Chuck's suggestion. Call Robert at Starsound. He'll make you an offer you can't refuse: Money back quarantee if you're not happy. Can't beat that with a stick. You won't return a thing. Amazing....warren :)

Millenium,is the transfer from energy to heat using these LAT vibra-killers explained clearly?I need to learn more about this as my curiousity[SP] is piqued.Thanks for your time and energy and sorry for hijacking this thread,Bob

If using granite, try sticking linoleum to the underside, which can be an effective way to damp vibrations without sucking the life out of the music. Try cones or tiptoes in addition, the material of which depends upon what's underneath.

Have you ever been to the AudioPoints website and looked at reviews on the Audio Points and Sistrum stands http://www.audiopoints.com/reviews.html?

This is what I use with fantastic results!

THE BEST THINGS THAT I HAVE COME ACROSS AND USE THEM ON GRANITE AS WELL AND FIND THEY ARE VERY NEUTRAL MEANING THEY OFFER NO SOUND OF THEIR OWN IS THE LAT INTERNATIONAL
VIBRA-KILLERS. I REPLACED MY STILLPOINT SYSTEM WITH THESE. AT 39.95 FOR 3 LARGE ONES THEY ARE A BARGAIN. THEY ALSO DO NOT TRANSFER VIBRATIONS DOWN TO THE NEXT COMPONET AS THE MATERIAL THEY USE CONVERTS THE ENERGY FROM VIBRATIONS INTO HEAT. IT ALSO ALLOWS YOU TO PLACE A COMPONENT ON TOP OF ANOTHER ONE AND THERE IS NO TRANSFER OF ENERGY OR VIBRATION TO THE COMPONENT BELOW. I ALSO DO NOT LIMIT THEM TO GRANITE AS THEY SOUND OR HAVE NO SOUND PLACED ON ANYTHING. CHECK OUT THE WEBSITE, IF YOU CALL THERE ASK FOR LOU.

Thorman, Did you try the coupling disc for use beneath the point, or just the Audiopoint directly onto the granite surface?

I am using the same size Granite Block myself,Its actually a Starret measurung block 20x20x3" and I have tried both.I depends on what your looking to do.With the Vibrapods the sound is warmer but has less air and definition,than with spikes.Using BDR racing cones , are somewhere in the middle of the Brass spikes and Vibrapods.My system is all tubes,so for me I stayed with the Audiopoint brass spikes under my cd player..You really need to experiment to really find out for sure.It really depends on your ears and what your loooking for.There are also many other variations of footers to use......Good luck
