Stillpoints Ultra 6’s & McIntosh Mono Blocks
Just purchased Ultra 6’s for my McIntosh mono blocks from the Maestro Ivan. As always he was an absolute pleasure to deal with and is the man. Curious who else is using Stillpoints with their McIntosh amps and how your using them. Are you using the adapters/threads and just replacing the stock feet? Or are you strategically placing them under the chassis of the amp? And if so where is the sweet spot? Thank you.

Wow, I bet the Ultra 6's will sound great under your Mc mono's. I have just the Ultra SS under my 601's and thought they were worth it. Ivan sent me the treaded adaptors so I am using them threaded directly into the 601's replacing the stock feet. Because of the size and weight of the amps I was afraid to just have the amps resting on the Stillpoints. I do like having the Stillpoints on Symposium platforms for even more isolation.

I read your review and it was a great read! Really well written and informative. I wish I could write that well just once! I read that you used the McIntosh adapters which I am leaning towards doing. I am posing the question bc I read that Bruce from Stillpoints recommends not using the threads and instead placing the Ultra 6’s under the chassis without the adapters. Which leaves me uncertain as what to do as I am getting conflicting advice from 2 sources that I trust. So was wondering what other people were doing out there. |

Thank you, I can’t wait to get them installed under the amps! I am leaning towards the thread way as well but then I can’t use the ultra bases that way. This hobby is going to cause me to pull all of my hair out of my head haha |

Ivan, that’s funny!
My vote is strategic placement under power supplies, transformers etc based on playing with this - try both minor investment and let you guide yourself |

I ended up going a different route. Used Stillpoints 5’s under my speakers and Stillpoints SS’s under all my components |
