    So Stillpoints are a must, right? But the contact face of three (or four) Ultra SS is very small when I look at the pictures. This is no problem with a 42kg heavy SIA 025?

    The base plate is around 10mm thick so the small contact area presents no problem. This gear is built to last.

    Right now I am using Shun Mook Ultra Diamond Resonators. They have a huge diameter. I also have an Ensemble Honeyplate with three little cones. Did not try it by now. The contact area is also very small.

    + 1. I have my 4 Stillpoints Ultra 6's + Ultra bases placed directly under the 4 screws for the potted UI-core transformer. And although the Ultra 6's have a 3" diameter, a fair bit of the amp is hanging off the sides as you can see...but no problem as Diasoft said .

    I tried the SIA-025 with the PS Audio PerfectWave Powerplant P10 .I now run the SIA-025 direct to the power point on its own power line.No real difference sound wise and didn't want to risk starving it of power..

    The PS Audio PerfectWave Powerplant P10 is a regen which is supposed to re-build the original signal, remove contamination and produce a perfect sine wave according to PS Audio. I haven't tried a regen in my system, but I have had great success with the Gigawatt PC-3 SE Evo conditioner.

    The Gigawatt has a double buffering circuit with compensation cells with enhanced capacity and levels the difference between input and output power, dramatically improving impulse response for non-linear loads (eg: power amplifiers). It provides over-voltage protection and extremely robust surge protection provided by a hydraulic-magnetic switch made by Carling Technologies & has an accurate voltmeter which displays input voltage in 'true RMS' via an LED display on the front panel. It also has a dedicated high current branch for amplifiers & is one of the few conditioners where a power amp sounds better connected to the conditioner than direct to wall. An added bonus is that the product's footprint allows it to be placed on a normal height rack shelf which I find useful.

    Here is a review fyi which has detailed pics of the internals and parts. Note: Gigawatt have slightly improved the design since this review.

    Hi there, looking at getting a used Vitus SIA 025. Any idea what is the difference between the MKI and MKII? Is it upgradable by the local dealer or Vitus themselves?

    I think this may have been the update that increased the class A/B output from 100 to 150 watts per channel. Please note that class A is where the magic is though.
