FYI - Wellfloat - a "Game Changer in Mechanical Vibration Management"

I have both.

The Delta's usually go between the speaker or the component and the floor.shelf. Same as the board.

Thanks for the reply. When you referred to “the right isolator footers” in post #38, I presumed you didn’t mean Wellfloat footers, but instead those from other sources. I was curious where you inserted *those* footers; whether above or below your Wellfloat. Have I misunderstood your setup?

Correct.

They go between the well-float platform and the bottom of the component.

Hi
I have been using wellfloat delta under TT, speakers and preamps for awhile now. They are very effective.
I use ‘isolation footer’ between component chasis (the ‘footer’ material directly contacting the component Not the feet of the component). But the footer need not be a commercial product which in my experience introduce unnecessary tonal character. Experiment with different small timbers pieces- hard or softwood, metal or combination- other than sorbathene/rubber like material.
Same principle applies if u use wellfloat platform, try not to put the component feet of the component directly on the platform- unfortunately they are mdf. Use same material combo directly contacting the chasis and the platform
cheers

There is a review that is really exciting about them at

Seems really interesting. Has someone compared them to others like Equipment Vibration Protectors / EVPs, Stack Audio, IsoAcoustics etc?

Wellfloat is perfect , lower distortion without killing music energy

I am a big advocate for wellfloat after trying various footers including CMS CS2, stillpoints, FE and others.

Hi Jason,

I've tried a dozen or so vibration tweaks. Here is my favorite going from lowest price to highest:

1) Stack Audio at about $200;

2) Graphite Audio IC-35's at about $799

3) Well-float platforms at about $1100

4) Well-float platforms with a set of Graphite Audio IC-35 footers.

5) Graphite Audio CLASSIC 100 platforms at about $2K.

The Sound Kaos Virbra 68's are also quite good but they don't allow "stacking" like I prefer to do.

The Well-float Delta's worked great for speakers and gear. I am only selling my remaining Delta's as I've moved on to other gear to review. It has nothing to do with performance.

You'll need to try for yourself as tweaks are extremely system-dependent.

Hi,

The most effective Wellfloat I have tried is the latest
WellFloat double platform.Incredible peformance.
I also use Delta Extreme under my Avalon Saga Signature,
superb performance.
If you are serious about your system you have to try them.

Hi,
If you want the absolute best configuration,use a WellFloat double
under the components and change the feet on the component to
RevoPod feet,another incredible performer.
That is the State of the Art with current products available.
And I have tried so many of them.

Correct.

They go between the well-float platform and the bottom of the component.

FYI: Wellfloat boards for isolation under every component, with Dalby LV, ASI Top Line, and Marigo Mystery footers to drain/dissipate/tune internal component resonances:

Doubling up with the two different types really does make a difference.

I've move away from using RevOpods and now prefer the Graphite Audio IC-35's instead.

Have you tried the Dalby D7-LVSE90? They are the best sounding footers I've heard. The smaller, less expensive ASI Top Line feet are similar in design and provide I'd say 75% of the performance of the Dalby. Both incorporate tone woods and to my ears provide more natural sounding timbre/tonality than any metal, graphite, polymer design I've tried.

I have not.

I'm trying to find a good balance between price/performance vs. spending super high. Otherwise I'd be using the new double Well-floats.

As an example I use the GA IC-35's on some gear, the GA platform on the integrated, and the combined WF and GA on two pieces. On other pieces I use either the Sound Kaos on the Stack Audio.

To me - in my own personal opinion, I'm not going to spend that kind of money on vibration control because at some point I'd put the money into better gear with lesser $$ spent on vibration control.

I've also found no one solution is guaranteed the best on a component - it takes trial and error.

I'm not saying my way is right - just explaining my personal reasoning.

Price is always part of the equation. Note that I bought the Dalby, ASI, and Marigo footers used for less than half the retail price.

Hi,
I still have 6 sets of Dalby Lignum duos on my Lamm Signature components,
but I talked to Lee and he cannot source Lignum anymore more.So for practical
purposes you cannot order a pair from Lee Dalby.If you find a used pair it will cost a fortune.
They are amazing but I cannot recommend them because of that reason.
