New Anvil levitation footer

[Bruce McDougall]

I've been away for a bit but have a new product just about out. I'll need to consult with WBF for promotion rules. Unique magnetic isolation method that is different than anything else. Very effective isolation. Cost effective and works on its own or with other footer technology

Hi Bruce, what's up with these? They loo, interesting!

Hi again Tuckers. Although the footers utilize magnetic levitation , they do not use opposing magnets which can virtually eliminate any spring effects. Originally developed for my turntables , and now for most components. Besides turntables ( which i believe thes are flat out the best devices available) ive noticed the greatest effect on tube dacs and preamps and amps. They are the only device I am aware of that isolates more as it is compressed. Constrained layer technology is also utilized. Completely tuneable effects make them highly adaptable to various systems. The consistent result is a sort of "detangling" of the soundstage with greater seperation and recognition of instruments in the mix. It's remarkable how cluttered and compressed audio reproduction can be even in high end systems and these really help. They also reduce hardness in systems and enhance the 3d effect with more freedom from physical boundaries. I have sold these for 10 years but have kept a low profile. I'm planning on creating a new website soon as there are reviewers interested and I'm looking forward to a wider audience. I used to do the Axpona shows also and miss the events.

I put aside a project 12-15 years ago, going to pick it back up in a few years - I swear.

At least you got your project to work well enough to sell, development setbacks take a little out of your soul. I don't know how Edison and his team persisted like they did.

Please keep us informed, looks like a out of the box cool gizmo.

Thank you. Mostly, I idled the turntable business as they are very, very difficult to produce and needed a break. The footers and some other products I'm working on require tolerances much more forgiving and the entir e process. The turntables were crazy as I utilized custom cast alloys and a lot of technology not seen elsewhere. This example had on the fly belt tension adjustment, vta and spindle to pivot distance. Also extensive use of magnetics and phase control over motor .It also had the lowest bearing friction of any non air bearing turntable.

What are the price of these things, is there more than one size and, if so, what are the differences and applications they are intended for and, of course, what are the various prices, ordering, payment and return information? Thank you in advance.

Is there a particular component you have in mind? They are all 3" x 1/2 , however the loading can vary and this affects price. Generally, 45 to 65$ each and can hold from about 6# to 38# ea.

I was thinking about possibly trying these under an Anthem AVM 90 processor, likely 1 under each of the 4 footers. The processor weighs approx. 35 lbs. distributed over 4 footers. What would the price be and what is your return policy?

 

[Bruce McDougall]

55.00 ea for an application like that. I'm guessing the majority of the weight distribution is to the rear where the transformers are. Returns anytime within 45 days ( never had a return though)! I've never applied these in a home theater application, would be an interesting experience. Currently, these are back ordered for about 2 weeks due to demand and the Holiday.
