I am really pissed at you Nrchy!! Nrchy you Know nothing about me, my backround or my listening experience. Should I put together a list of references? Would you like to compare our respective audio backrounds? Sir I do know what I speak about and...

Geometry matters...... a lot. Notice the dampening pads. They will... interfere... with the collection.... and transfer of resonant energy...Tom 
Blu -Tack Under Bookshelf Speakers?
Everyone wants to have their speakers sound their best. If you use the smallest of the Audioponts in conjunction with the Apcd coupling discs you will achieve this goal..I have done this many times for friends..Tom 
Dunlavy's and spikes
I used Audiopoints under the attached Dunlavy bases. Later with some fright I removed the bases and used threaded Audiopoints directly into the SC4's. This was better I felt, more direct coupling. Now I use the Sistrum SP101 and apcd coupling disc...

Levitation cannot isolate a component from airborne sonic attacks. Neither the self generated internal energy nor the airborne disturbances are provided a point of relief. All of this trapped energy will be reamplified. Tom 
Calling Thiel owners please...
Pops the brass allow is soft compared to the steel points you replaced. After a few days the brass will meld and form fit to the Thiel provided openings. You will have a more stable and vivid soundstage and a more physcially stable speaker./Tom

Again there is no such thing as isolation. Dampening is another storage medium with uncontrolled time release of stored energy back into the devices on it, under it, and within it. Dampening is not selective upon the frequency nor the amplitude at...

Again and again to couple or to isolate/dampen? For me the answer has been cleared up by the use of coupling for several years now. Tom

Sean my brain fell out, I feel, in the correct time and phase alignment. My ears have followed my views. The results are 3d. Tom

Nrchy can the rack you are speaking of, isolate equipment from airborne as well as self induced electro-mechanical noise and vibration? If the answer is yes then how does this rack disapate said captured energy? If it is sitting on a absorbent sur...

Sean describe to Us your rack? Are you still using the high mass, high storage Michael Green rack? Or perhaps some new cosmic State of the Rack maybe consisting of exotic timber, lead shot and pneumatic hot air bags. Does It couple? Does It Isolat...

You will never find.. IT.. until you realize there is.. NO.. such thing as isolation.. Tom

Levitation platforms are not immune to airborne resonances or to self induced chassis resonances. All noise will be stuck within the chassis. No common ground plane, no way out...Tom

The steel spikes sing a negative song but are better than no spikes..Not all Thiels accept the same shaft diameter.. The newer Thiels require a threaded shaft the older models are a smooth pressure fit..The Audiopoints will collect and dissipate t...

Your tuning with timber and the result is a change in timbre accuracy. All are storage devices with various time delays and resulting colorations. Recipe for a soup sandwich with the resulting stains being tainted with each added ingredient..You h...
