In my experience, the SS is well worth the cost over the mini. I directly compared them under a McIntosh C500 preamp. It was obvious the SS was better. I used SS with bases under MC501s. Never would consider Mini under amps but that’s just me.
IIRC, Mini has a single ceramic ball (or whatever material it is) whereas SS has a single “technology packet” which is comprised of a number of balls, let’s say it’s 4 balls (can’t remember how many exactly). So set of 4 minis is 4 balls and set of 4 SS is 16 balls. Significantly more vibration control headroom in SS.
I did use minis under my Aurender X100 but can’t say I heard any improvement there. Mini under digital may be good enough.

Thx Jason, I thought I remember you saying you lost your mind...and your room
No I am with you. Really looking forward to installing these on the CLX. Its a 2 man job though on the large panels.
I still have the Symposium Acoustic Ultra platforms and the couplers. I think I may use the platforms and Couplers under the amps until funds and the timing is right for more Stillpoints. Also have a buddy who swears by Nordost. But man everyone on AA swears by SP.
I wish I purchased Black Ultra SS though!
Don't want to derail the thread...
