Looking to better improve my Kondo Overture pm-2i performance,
So i was wondering if there are any recommendations..

and Is it true over springy/floaty vibration control can "smudge" SQ especially with tube amplification?
 
There are few space limitations of my stand (Quadraspire SVT) columns

i found a few 450x350 isolation base options

- Wellfloat 3545S
- TAOC SCB-RS-HC
- Acoustic Revive RST-38H
Acapella made custommade base ( dimensions) sounds phanstatic under the kondo overture. Ask there for price maybe the base intressting for you

I've found two great solutions from Oyadie and Acoustic Revive,
and got great result with Quartz damping!

I didn't need to buy anything new as i already had the stuff.
Once in a while i get bored and do trail and error with the "Junk" I've accumulated over the years.


Acoustic Revive SIP-8Q (with QR-8 Quartz Resonators),

they have been plugged to the Overture for a couple of months now and when i unplug them, there is a sort of "Fuzziness" to the sound.
odd, but now i can't listen to the amp without them being plugged in as they add some sort of "Cleanliness" to the SQ.
I think the QR-8 Quartz Resonators have more do to with it then the SIP-8 termination.


Oyaide INS-BS + Oyaide INS-SQ,
I've tried just the INS-BS under the amp, 5 of them, as the Overture have five feet.
Didn't notice or felt anything special so back to the "junk" box they went.

A few months have passed and i got bored again and thought maybe i try a INS-BS + INS-SQ (smoky quartz) combo and for my amazement the effect was immediate, something definitely has change now!
SQ has gotten a bit more refined, tighten, better bass control..
Simply put the Overture got a bit more engaging and musical :)

Another simple yet effective upgrade.
I've added Acoustic Revive SPU-8's made of brass under the Oyaide INS-BS + Oyaide INS-SQ.

The lower extension gained more control with better focus.
