Added Minis
 
1 Attachment(s)
I just put 4 Minis under my K03x and then listened to two different tracks before and after (honestly not wanting to hear any difference). The first track was off the SACD Accuphase Demonstration disc 2, Bach from Toccata and Fugue in D Minor, the second track was a FLAC file of Frankenstein by Edgar Winter off my CD. ( I was too impatient to do more)

After the install, very clearly there is more clarity of instruments. There is a midbass line in Frankenstein I had never heard and could follow easily while a lot of music was playing around it. On the Toccata and Fugue, where I heard a bigger difference, without the Stillpoints, when the low organ notes first kick in early, my system has a vibrato to it. I often wondered if it was supposed to sound like that. With the Stillpoints, it is still there only cleaner and more easily recognized as part of the source. (Although I need to hear the Burmester/Aida system again to know for sure...)

Not sure I am ready to spend the cash to put them under my Speakers but I am now painfully curious.

Craig, welcome to the dark side. :D When I put Ultra 5s under my speakers it was a transformational experience. Just sayin'.

Randy, I have been reading inputs from yourself, Ivan and others that I respect but am struggling spending 30-50% of the cost of my speakers on Stillpoints. The minis for the K03x were seemingly a good value but it costs more than my well used Betas. Plus, I am retiring the end of September and will have to really consider my Audio purchases from here on in. Craig

+1.

Ultra 5 under speakers have transformed my system. Unbelievable. And that's coming from ultra SS w/ bases. The 5's are phenomenal.

Well, if you are going to let good judgment interfere with this hobby, I am not sure we can be friends anymore. ;)
