I can confirm that placement is critical for the Wadia 861.
I now have 270/27ix but had the 861 before.
A cheap but very effective improvement is a set of Polycrystal Reference cones, one in the middle of the front and two at the back of the unit, all indented by 2 inches from the front, back and sides.
In my system I use a very fine - but expensive - "Sial" stand from Copulare (www.copulare.de).
I don't want to miss either the Copulare stand nor the Polycrystal cones.
The Wadia equipment is so rewarding for proper placement and power cords (Elrod Statement II is phantastic!!!), it's well worth spending money for this kind of tuning!
Happy listening!
