    Do you power condition?

    @KenMasters, you have a very abrasive and obnoxious on-line demeanor. Fact. Here you berate the OP for what he claimed was an improvement. Yet below you in fact do exactly that! Who appointed you as forum policeman. You insult the members here insinuating that we are not capable of making...

    Spikes vs Cups vs Pucks

    No, your photo is not showing a Vibrapod. You clearly do not know what they are. What you display are not like the link : http://www.vibrapod.com/vibrapod.htm

    Spikes vs Cups vs Pucks

    @KenMasters, you obviously haven't tried them. I suggest you do. At their price you are not risking much. I have not yet tried Vibrapods under speakers yet but know of some who report improvements. Having heard what they can do I believe them and very happy I discovered how useful they are.

    Spikes vs Cups vs Pucks

    @hendrikvr, and YES I do want my speakers on springs. Unless you've heard springs properly employed as found in the Townshend products then you don't really have an opinion. I said I would be in the country and we could try listening to a cable but you did not accept the challenge. On my...

    @chrisc, Hi Chris perhaps try a set of the Vibrapods. They have 5 different models and you choose according to the weight of the component. Available for R695/set of 4 I placed some model 1 under my line stage and model 2 under the Oppo and must say impressed with the result.

    Spikes vs Cups vs Pucks

    @hendrikvr, I'm sorry this all went over your head. Understand I don't think I can hear a difference, I know I can and so does my wife as does 2 other people who I've recently demonstrated the platform to. The Vibrapods also clean up the sound. Instead of continually sniping at me from the...

    Spikes vs Cups vs Pucks

    Using spikes is a mistake from the 80's that's gained a reputation they don't deserve. Spikes do not isolate they couple and being sharp couple well to whatever they touch and they certainly do allow vibration to be transmitted in both directions. Using springs to isolate works. Anyone tried...

    To whom it may be of interest and value, a challenge

    Well not really a challenge, maybe an invite. Some of you may have seen my post about my DIY cable I compared to an $5500 Gryphon digital interconnect where it easily held its own and bettered it in some areas. I will be visiting Durban, SA in a few days arriving 24th March and bringing with me...
