Re: Critical Mass Center Stage 2
Mike, can you tell me that CS 2 footer works well with tube devices? I want them for my arc ref10,cd9, and 75se , and if the answer is yes, do you think the size of 0.8 is right one for my arc devices

Re: Critical Mass Center Stage 2
On the aspect of sizing. According to CM size affects performance. This quote from an email they sent me on this:
"CS2 is designed such that the taller the foot, the better the performance. Improvements are clearly audible and top to bottom in nature without trade-offs. So, the first priority is to elevate the component off of its stock feet. Then, it's a matter of budget and/or your listening objectives."

Re: Critical Mass Center Stage 2
Do you have to play the system constantly (like breaking in speakers) during the first two weeks or can you leave it turned on?

Re: Critical Mass Center Stage 2
Install the CM2 footers underneath your components. Nothing else required.

Re: Critical Mass Center Stage 2
As reviews say go from 1" to 1.5" for amps make a big difference also 0.8" to 1" for pre,cd make improvements but I dont think for digital sources and pre amplifiers 1.5" make audible differences compare to 1" because digital sources and pre amplifiers are usually under 40 pounds unlike heavy power amps
Im using Aesthetix amplification which I imagine would be a good combination.
