    Stillpoints ESS Equipment Rack, Ultra 5 Isolator, LPI LP Isolator

    in Professional

    Reviewed by Robert Harley, The Absolute Sound
    September 2012

    "Frankly, I'm a bit chagrined that I've been reviewing for 23 years and it took me this long to discover the benefits of no-holds-barred vibration-isolation technology. It's a new trick that this old dog was thrilled to learn."

    Stillpoints (Part One)

    in Professional

    Reviewed by Chris Thomas, HiFi+ Issue #99
    September 2012

    "Without the resonance control it slips by almost unnoticed, and the timing is hard to pick up on as it is tripping forward and over itself. But slip four Mini Ultras on bases beneath both the CD plalyer and the amplifier and the difference is incredible."

    The Stillpoints Support System

    in Professional

    Reviewed by Chris Thomas, HiFi+ Issue #59

    "If I had spent the same amount on a new pre-amplifier or CD player and got these improvements I would be absolutely delighted. It opens up new and exciting system building options and those in the market for a serious system upgrade should perhaps consider Stillpoints before they look at some new electronic box, because what the ESS rack and in fact all of the Stillpoints products are really about are the musicians that make it all happen -- and I have never heard them given such an eloquent voice."

    Grace and Favour...

    in Professional

    Reviewed by Roy Gregory, HiFi+ Issue #61

    "My first exposure to Berning electronics was in a system at the Montreal Show a good few years ago. It was the same system that introduced us to Stillpoints – and was producing not just one of the best sounds at the show, but impressive sound by any measure. It was an encounter that had a profound effect on our thinking..."

    "The ESS rack achieved exactly the same result for the electronics, drawing mechanical energy out of their chassis so that it was no longer able to interfere with the signal."

    Positive Feedback Writers' Choice Awards - 2009

    in Professional

    During the more than thirty years of experimenting with cones, footers and spikes I've come to the conclusion that many of these products shift problem from one frequency to another. Most of them sound like they look or feel, the pointy ones are sharp and the soft ones soft. Sure, some exception as it's interactive with the equipment you put it under but this observation is not far wrong.

    For turntables I've had a long running problem finding a device that maintains clear, sharp imaging, great dynamics and transparent high frequencies without sounding artificial, hyped or bright. The solution is the Stillpoints adjustable riser combined with Stillpoints Universal Resonance damper.

    Not only will this combination allow you to precisely level your turntable and reduce interaction with the environment, it lets the music flow in a clear natural way.

    We often forget that a turntable is a purely mechanical device. Not only the motor but also the mechanism of picking up vibration from the groove with a tiny polished diamond. This is possibly the most demanding place to test the ability of an isolation device and Stillpoints is the clear winner.

    Stillpoints standoff use in VRE-1 preamp

    in Professional

    Reviewed by Steve McCormack, SMc Audio
    Vista CA

    Hi Paul - I want to thank you again for your support with my Stillpoint standoff trials. With the proper number of standoffs in-hand to fully populate the VRE-1 preamplifier, I decided it was time to give them an "official" evaluation. Let me preface my remarks by saying that the VRE-1 is my statement piece. It is the result of an open-ended project to develop the highest-performance preamp possible, and it was in development for over 5 years while I examined every aspect of its performance. I believe it to be among the finest preamps available today, without regard for cost. Its performance in a truly fine system - like The Lotus Group's "Granada" speakers or the Kaiser "Kaweros" at Hi-Fi One - can be startlingly lifelike...and that was before the addition of the Stillpoints standoff technology.

    The Sound of Nothing
    "My room dropped away. I was in Vienna’s Musikverein. Stillpoints’ Aperture II panels made suspending disbelief in time travel and teleportation far easier, and that late-evening excursion affirmed why I got involved in this crazy hobby in the first place. The Stillpoints Aperture IIs are easy-to-recommend producers of nothing."
