VIBRAPODS - Cone (Each)

I use the Vibrapods Cone together with the Vibrapods Model 3. I have the Asus Essence III DAC/amp and it's feet, four round discs, keep the unit very close to the surface of my desk. This generated A LOT of heat that wouldn't dissipate very effectively. By stacking the Cone on top of the Model 3 (ball bearing upwards) I was able to add about 2" clearance between the Asus and the surface of my desk. Huge difference now with much better heat dissipation. The ball bearing on the cone fits very nicely in a hole in the discs underneath the Asus. I know that products like this are made for preventing vibrations that will affect the sound quality of music. That debate rages on but I've noticed no difference regarding that. I find these "vibrapods" to have a very practical application regarding elevation of the hardware for heat dissipation. The setup is stable and not ugly. This is very price worthy considering that you can spend exorbitant amounts of money on "vibration dampening" gear where all I wanted to do was elevate the Asus and solve a practical problem.

Put set of 4, with Vibrapod bases, underneath a Bryston SP3. Note that they do not fasten or snap onto the "base" isolators, allowing for easier setting of the eqmt. You need a second person (for real success) to hold the unit while you fudge around the cones to rest perfectly on the round bases. Not a big deal, but would be a great design change to allow some sort of fastening of the two. As far as sound difference....its hard to say. I believe my bass extension has improved a bit. For the price, I recommend this modification for truly high-end systems that *may* suffer from serious bass vibration.

Vibrapods are the best isolation devices I've found for electronics equipment based on vibration measurements and listening tests that I've made over the years. My turntable is supported by 4 Vibrapod cones on top of a 3/4" acrylic platform which is supported by 4 Vibrapod cones sitting on Vibrapod isolators. This is the most stable and quiet operation that I've ever been able to obtain. Highly recommended.

Not quite big enough for weight of turntable but did work with other ordered devices nicely. These eliminated attenuated vibration sound spectrum feedback to 138dCB.

Quality upgrade for your listening pleasure. Helped tremendously in leveling my turntable. While it didn't help with the audible noise I was experiencing , I found them to be well constructed and would recommend them for the true audiophile.

Item arrived on time and safe. Did not notice any difference in sound quality.

For a reasonable price nice vibration reduction. Consistent quality.

purchased for use under amps. took out after 1 song, just made the amps too bright
