Using Stillpoints tech with Shunyata
I agree that the feet supplied with the Shunyata Triton, Typhon and Typhon QR are quite robust. I’m not sure that they do quite the job of Stillpoints, but Caelin definitely didn’t spare any expense providing meticulously machined hunks of very heavy stainless steel to support his power distribution products.
I had the bottom grid rack free on my 2X wide Stillpoints ESS rack and by removing the Shunyata feet from my Triton v3 and Typhon QR I was able to shoehorn them in side by side on top of some original Stillpoint cones fastened to the grid shelf.
Does the Stillpoints tech actually make an audible difference? I don’t know since I never tried the Shunyata feet on the floor. I had the space and the Stillpoints (and didn’t have floor space behind my rack) and figured, it certainly isn’t going to hurt.
If I ever decide I need that bottom shelf and figure out where I can put the Triton and Typhon QR I guess I’ll find out if I need to invest in some more Ultra SS for the Shunyatas.
Probably not the answer you were looking for.
Good luck,
Steve Z
