Isolation & the rack.

[bzr]

As many know recently I changed my rack to an assortment of 3 inch thick Northern Red Mahogany sleepers, commonly known as one of the most dense woods in Oz & quite up there as far as the world ratings go too. Nothing is bolted together & all sit nicely with just gravity holding them in place. In the last month I have come to the assumption that all my Stillpoints are now detracting from the sound that I have & am really enjoying the sound I now have without them. 3 months ago I would have thought poorly of someone that couldn't hear the benefit's of these devices, now, in the system I have & the rack I use it subtracts the warmth & musicality from my listening sessions to the point of me flitting through my music collection & not finding anything that I really want to listen to. I now have all my components sitting on timber without any risers or footers of any kind.
Anyone had the same experience, findings?

Ralph, great post & also this has been my findings. I have found for me the mid range & bass have been really tamed to the point that musicality has taken a back seat to definition & pure toe tapping enjoyment.
For another experiment I moved my Torus generators closer to the wall on the outside of the speakers, the sound-stage became very flat & not engaging at all. Needless to say I moved them back to better position the sound from the both of them within 48hrs. & people say bass is non directional huh!
