StillPoint Ultra 5's

I use ultra SS in three's under all rack components and I also use the LP1 puck on top of each rack component, including my amps. The full stillpoint's experience can get rather pricey.

I'm starting to see that! What's a kidney go for these days? ;)

On what he would suggest for the Dag.

Nelson - I would love to be there, but my wife has decided to return to University, so things are a little upside down - to say the least.

Ask him if we can get them in black and what he recommends for Dag amps/preamps using Dag amp and preamp stands. Thanks!

Curious what has your observation been in relation to which item seemed to benefit the most. "speakers?"

Were you able to familiarize yourself with having placed them under your speakers first and then move along trying under other components such as your amps mentioned.

What did you notice when placing them under your amps

The LP1 puck; is there a preferred location to position and what are the benefit's of using this, a pic would be great if you could attach

I did a systematic approach. I focused first on the phono stage and main pre-amps. I think my phono had the most benefit. There is an increase in clarity/transparency. The effect is somewhat cumulative. I usually use the LP1 in the midde of the component and for power supplies I move it over it's approximate location of the transformer inside the box. Stillpoints recommends you experiment. I even use an LP1 on my CA Master Innovation arm board. There to I found t improved the sound.

Speakers might end up benefiting the most, but I need more listening experience before I can offer a definitive opinion. The speakers were my last Stillpoints purchase. I had them in the rest of the system for over a year.

Thanks - when you made mention to phono stage were you referring to the Pass or your present Allnic or both? My new rack design isn't allowing me to easily add due to height restrictions
 
I found the speakers made the most difference in my system, it was a night & day experience.

Hi Kev,
on your Mag 20.7's?

Would be great to if you could post some pic's showing so others could see- I really like Maggies, I owned a par of 20's but haven't heard your version as of yet
 
Hi dev, no it was under my SGR Audio MT3.2's. I did a day with friends, one a dealer that brought the whole Stillpoints case with him & we experimented. At the mo am fine tuning my system to where I want the sound to be & then will be adding the the full Stillpoint system. The speakers/Maggies will get Ultra 5's, 3 under each that will be coupled to the spike binding threads, 3 Ultra 5's under the amps/monos & Ultra SS's under components, preamp,dac,macbook pro.

The Pass. I do have the Allnic H5000 on Ultra SS footers. There is no top so no LP1 needed there.
 
Here is my most recent thoughts from another forum...Even my casual listening girlfriend noticed the difference. She felt like she could reach out and touch the performers....

After thinking about soundstage increase via ultra 5's on speakers, I have a better description of the improvement...Speaker Disappearing act. The density and extension of music between the speakers improves significantly with the stillpoints versus spikes. x-2's without them are handicapped.

First answer from Mike:
No black because the color is not constant, if they found a way to keep the same color they do it
 
Second answer ,D'agostino stand:
Replace the stand and put directly with 8/32 adapter

He saids that the sound with the ultra 5 directly is Amazing
