IsoAcoustics Component Stands: Magic or Science?

April 6, 2015 Comments Off on IsoAcoustics Component Stands: Magic or Science?

“The IsoAcoustics website includes a helpful tool: You plug in the model name of your speakers and it tells you which of their stands will work best. My speakers are Focal’s Solo6 Be model. I entered their name, and IsoAcoustics’ search engine provided the Focal’s dimensions and weight and recommended the ISO-L8R200 stand used in its normal, vertical orientation. The ISO-L8R200 is a basic black stand — I really wanted to try the new and very swoopy Aperta stands, made of aluminum. But I decided to take IsoAcoustics’ advice.”

” ’m a proponent of powerful, low-distortion, high-damping-factor, solid-state amps that have abundantly stiff power supplies and the ability to deliver a neutral audio signal regardless of load. However, I am not tied to any specific design trait that might tempt me to buy only one type of design to the exclusion of all others; e.g., no-negative-feedback designs, or amps with only linear power supplies, or those with only a single pair of output devices per channel. ”

So please make sure of the optimum position for your panels before you apply, as this is pretty much a one way ticket.”
