    Stillpoints Ultra 6 v's Critical Mass Systems Centre Stage 2

    This is a good discussion. Maybe the following would be useful. Without getting into “better” – as this would be highly inappropriate- I think it would be true to say that the “business end” of the SP rack is nested inside its footers. SP and CMS obviously infuse technology into our rack...

    Introducing the All-new Center Stage Ultra TT Feet for Turntables and Center Stage Ultra TD Feet for Tape Decks

    Please tell our very good friend, Leo, I said hello! He is a learned gentleman. We're putting the final touches on the site, but we're probably a few weeks out. A person who has evolved to your level of listening should focus on the ultra Series. These can be used with any component in the...

    You shouldn't make a statement like this, in all honesty. They do not do the same thing.

    Center Stage2 "LS" Series Loudspeaker Feet

    dts-99 This is a good question. Unfortunately, the answer is no, the Ultra TT is designed for electronic components. They do not replace the LS series, which is very much available. Thank you for asking. I hope you move forward with the LS 1.5s. You will never regret having them in your...

    Introducing the All-new Center Stage Ultra TT Feet for Turntables and Center Stage Ultra TD Feet for Tape Decks

    The Oladra would be the perfect component for the TTs because the Oladra is the source off the signal path. Getting the signal right from the beginning nets vast musical value. If you liked the 2Ms, you'll love the TTs. Yes, they were designed for turntables, but their positive effects are...

    Introducing the All-new Center Stage Ultra TT Feet for Turntables and Center Stage Ultra TD Feet for Tape Decks

    Well, it would not be appropriate for me to suggest that the upgrade is not cost effective. I'm sure you can understand why. Having said this, I can tell you without equivocation that music lovers who tried the feet their under mass loaded tables tell me the improvement is far beyond their...

    No, you didn't miss anything. Our current webmaster sucks, in my opinion. We're in the midst of building a new site with a new designer and all will be there. Attached is some basic Ultra-Q info. In addition to the new Ultra-Q architecture, the new Ultra--Diamond and Ultra-Platinum filters...

    Introducing the All-new Center Stage Ultra TT Feet for Turntables and Center Stage Ultra TD Feet for Tape Decks

    Sure thing. These settle much faster. How many days? Well, when I tested them on an MDF board (shelf) I'd say 3 days. When I tested them on on our all-new Ultra-Q rack with Ultra-Diamond filters, I'd say half that. But, this is me and it is reasonable and customary to assume that different...

    Introducing the All-new Center Stage Ultra TT Feet for Turntables and Center Stage Ultra TD Feet for Tape Decks

    Thank you for being a loyal customer. I love your feedback, of course. I need to add, the weight of the MSBs are well within the functional range for the CS2M 1.5s. Weight doesn't matter as much as size does. 4 feet may not fit under a very small size component. A size issue could be...

    Introducing the All-new Center Stage Ultra TT Feet for Turntables and Center Stage Ultra TD Feet for Tape Decks

    The touchpoints are slightly raised creating, or maintaining, a uniform flat surface across the area of the foot. The foot is flat across the touchpoints. ........and the touchpoints are flat across their surface as well. The touchpoints are not "spikes" or the like.

    Introducing the All-new Center Stage Ultra TT Feet for Turntables and Center Stage Ultra TD Feet for Tape Decks

    The answer to your 1st question is, no. The feet are based on the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics and MUST touch the bottom of the table. In short, the 2nd Law states that energy radiates from a point of concentration to dissipation. For this to occur effectively the feet and the table need to be...

    We can supply an M6 adapter for your turntable. Or, yes, they can be used without an adapter. The CS Ultra TT foot adjusts by turning its base. The adjustments are quite fine so leveling accuracy is not an issue. We are modernizing our website to feature an entire new line of Ultra...

    Introducing the All-new Center Stage Ultra TT Feet for Turntables and Center Stage Ultra TD Feet for Tape Decks

    Rather than me saying what changes I heard and, in the process, use every descriptor you've heard used a million times over once again, I'd rather say that I heard a doubling or maybe tripling of performance. I'd say, in this case, a doubling for sure. And, this was a very good table.

    Introducing the All-new Center Stage Ultra TT Feet for Turntables and Center Stage Ultra TD Feet for Tape Decks

    There's a lot going on in this post. When I tested the TT feet under the last turntable on our racks I was surprised how much better the table sounded. I attribute the improvement to bypassing the stock feet of the table. Stock feet can get in the way of a table's potential. When the TT...

    Center Stage 2

    Hi pevan CS2M feet are designed to work best directly touching the bottom of a component. You'd get more performance out of them if they were implemented in the manner in which they were intended. Having said this, yes you could. I hope this helps Joe

    Center Stage 2

    The weight of the component honestly isn't an issue. I think you should place them where they will make the most difference in your system. We usually read that owners first place them under amps or as close as possible to the start of the signal, and then add on from there. I recommend the...
