The Universal
Resonance Damping System by Stillpoints is regarded as one of
the best isolation cones available in high-end audio. These
beautifully crafted cones are meant to be place under
components, speakers and turntables to improve the accuracy of
your music or soundtracks. With Stillpoints you will improve
your overall sound up to 30% in overall refinement, once you
listen to your system with it there is no going back, that's how
good these Stillpoints are. Link to Stillpoints
website.

Reference
Resonance Damping System
The System consists of two parts: Stillpoint and Riser. The
Stillpoint consists of an outer case (called the calyx due to its
flower like petals that line the inner shell), two layers of
ceramic balls, and a stainless steel pedestal. The Riser is an
aluminum base with a stainless steel stud, which accepts the
Stillpoint.
The System functions
as a shock absorber for vibrations and resonances. The System
changes vertical vibration into horizontal motion and absorbs it.
Following the path of vibration from
the top of the exposed ceramic ball, as the component is placed on
the Stillpoint, the vibration contacts the ball (at 12 o'clock)
and proceeds down through the ball. Vibration exits that ball at
the contact point of the second tier of balls at a diagonal (4 or
7 o'clock). The weight of the component expands the second tier of
balls, forcing them into the petals. The petals flex and counter
the vibration, thereby absorbing it. From
a platform or shelf, vibration enters the bottom outer rim of the
Riser, travels to the center of the Riser, and transverses up the
stud into the center of the pedestal. Finally, vibration travels
across the pedestal to the outer edge into the ball/petal
mechanism and is absorbed.
The System utilizes constrain layer damping techniques by
assembling ceramic, Delrin, stainless steel, and aluminum
materials. The System also provides for the leveling of components
via the Riser and studs. Longer studs are included to allow more
versatility. Stillpoints
heighten transparency, speed of transience, air, space, and
dynamics, to name only a few attributes, to aid in a very natural
presentation.
