Stillpoints now gracing my 2301s
Based on the many favorable reviews and comments of others on this forum (thank you folks), I made the plunge and installed 4 Ultra SS (in anodized black) under my Mcintosh MC2301 amplifiers. Once installed, I was a bit shocked by the degree of elevation to the sonic performance this mod has made. Perhaps even more shocking was the immediacy of the improvement - as others have mentioned, no break in time required. Suffice to say what I have observed so far with recordings I know well:
-bass has tightened up even further, with no discernible "bloom" at all -soundstage expanded -voices/vocals with improved "you are in the same room" kind of immediacy and articulation -blacker sonic backgrounds -little nuances in the recordings shine through .

Andrew.......Congratulations on improving the MC2301 performance with the Stillpoints Ultra SS in black. My experience parallels yours on my MC2301's. Stillpoints are the real deal.

Andrew , Congratulations with your stillpoints. They look good.
Can only say i just tried some Sort Kone from NordOst under my amplifier ( Accuphase E-470 ) and my experience is the same as yours. It was already on a Pagode stand with footers from Cerapuc , so didn't think it could give much improvement. I think its a very good upgrade... have actually thought on Stillpoint under my speakers.

I have all my system "koned" and the results are amazing. In my oppinion the best results are achieved mixing TC and BC in the same chassis Best Pablo |

Welcome to the club. I have them under my speakers, amp, and preamp and my experience is the same as yours. Looks like you replaced the stock feet with yours, pretty cool.
