    Hi I agree They are great I use the Townsend Audio seismic springs also The Stack Audio pucks are just as good and half the price

    Also - a tweek that creates loads of heat from the audio commentators who never hear a difference - lucky them - are cable lifters True - Some are eye wateringly expensive I improvised with toilet roll cardboard inserts put together with parcel tape All my cables are now off the ground on those things It really looks crap - terrible in fact But sounds amazing! And free

    Did wonders for my amp. I also got surprising results with them under everyting power related. LPS and power strips. Great value for money for sure!

    I just put a waterchug on my Dac, since I'm short on door stoppers and it made a noticable improvement. Try damping the cases as well everyone! Also, I got a set of brass spikes and it also improves under my class d power amp and my tube preamp too.

    I appreciate you sharing your personal experience of what works and why. KZread can be an echo chamber of people sharing the same information to fit in with everyone else. I’ve stated in the past that I felt, with a specific setup, that ISO Acoustics took life out of the music. “Experts” claimed I’m insane and that their isolation products would only improve the sound, not tarnish it. Well, selfishly, I’m glad to hear someone else state the same. I’ll be checking out a set of SA’s and run it through the same system. With a 30-day money-back guarantee, I feel like it’s a no-brainer experiment.

    Thanks for your comment. I agree - people on the forums and group are more worried about being right and telling others how they are wrong, rather than simply accepting we all hear differently and our systems are all different. That's why I go through great lengths in my vids to say I'm not saying I am right, I'm just telling you what I hear. I frankly think most people in forums have no life except to argue over nothing. Life is too short to waste time with people like that. Thanks for watching and I hope you'll hit the subscribe button.

    @@MichaelsHiFiAdventures They do everything I need them to. I think I have 10-12 sets in total, but I bought them before the price increase last year. I'm sure the more expensive products like Stack Audio, Revopods and Wellfloat triangles do a better job though. Audiophile Junkie uses them also and preferred them over the CCP made Isoacustics too.

    Very nice equipment rack ? Do you use specialty footers under the equipment rack ? Do you still use the Isoacoustics footers under any components ?

    H - I do not use IsoAcoustics under any component. I do put it in and out though as I use them to compare to other gear for comparison. I do have the rack on sliders as I often have to slide it out from the wall to change gear and cables to allow experiments.

    Did you try three placed equily around the center weight spot of a component? I found a nice improvement with amps where the toroid offsets the central weight point of the unit. May work for you too.

    The DAC did because it is a tube DAC. But the streamer still have a very noticeable improvement as well.

    As you also pointed out, my main problem with buying feet under my components is having X type of materials. It varies the results. But I've also been starting to experiment more in the past months, as my system is getting more and more resolving, every change just becomes more noticable. (Under my floorstanders small Viablue ufo rubber absorbers didnt make a difference against stock spikes. Didnt notice much under source components either. Case vibration damping there helps more.)

    Yup - trial and error is key. There is never one universal all-true "this is the best" that can declared by anyone on any product. It's all system and personal preference dependent which is what makes this hobby so great.

    Viablue recommends moving up to the UFO XLs if the component weighs around the half way point or more of the smaller sized UFO max weight spec.

    Ok,time has passed by ..busy evening. I run the ISO under all my components…tho I’m in the middle of reconfiguring my stack (I’m a head fi guy) ..so the immediate benefit of them is a subtle thing ..but mostly use them to replace the generally crappy feet that come with most equipment.
