State of the art isolation and vibration control
Stillpoints high end isolation feet have been around for two decades now. These state-of-the-art resonance control devices embody technology that is unique to Stillpoints. Each foot incorporates one or more “technology pockets” which consist of balls in bearings that very effectively convert harmful vibrational energy from the audio component into a tiny amount of heat. The ceramic balls are housed in a stainless steel body that will last many lifetimes. Steel provides a superior path for evacuation of energy, but is much harder to machine to tight tolerances than aluminum or brass. Therefore Stillpoints cannot be cheap. The current models are Ultra Mini, Ultra SS, Ultra 5 and Ultra 6. After a very short break-in period, the Stillpoints filters will provide excellent performance forever without any change or degradation.
Stillpoints Ultra Minis dramatically reduce the negative effects of outside vibration and resonance, delivering improvements like a greater sense of space around instruments and voices, better retrieval of low-level detail and microdynamics and a soundstage that really resembles the musical event. In fact, you will immediately hear improvements in nearly every sonic realm by placing these feet under your components.

“The Ultras (both Minis and SS) are really dangerous: hear them once and you’ll be addicted. They are so effective that other such accessories, even products that are akin to the Stillpoints principle, such as Finite Elemente Ceraballs, pale by comparison. Such is the added agility, resolution and subtlety, that Ceraballs sound comparatively dark and dull. Of these two versions, ultimately, the Ultra SS is my favorite, for its more complete, fuller, more visceral sound and wider soundstage but the Ultra Mini comes remarkably close and given their relatively modest price it should definitely be on your short list.”

“. . .if you haven’t heard your system on Stillpoints, you probably haven’t heard your system.“
“The increase in transparency and focus, the drop in the noise floor, the increase in dynamic range, resolution and the range of tonal colors is nothing short of dramatic — “Is this the same system?” dramatic.”
“What’s really significant is not the sonic differences these products make, but the musical ones; the fact that the performance presented by your system sounds more musical, more engaging and much more immediately involving.”
