As always there are exceptions and some components make attaching impossible if not, at least, impractical. Yes, placing a extra Ultra, or, strategically locating 1 Ultra product of 3 or 4 directly under a transport, transformer, or anything that internally generates a lot of vibration yields very good performance. Trying to do this with as little as 3 creates a difficult balancing act, though. Another performance booster is to ensure, as best as you can, that each Ultra is loaded evenly by the entire weight of the component.
John... Well it looks like we need a list similar to the one for speakers, telling everyone which adaptors you need for a particular audio item - amplifier, CD player, DAC, etc.,etc. Not sure Stillpoints would want to get into this, though helpful to the Nth degree that they are! Is it easy for Joe Public to find out thread sizes and so on?

I can see me having fun and games with my Moon 700i. Quick reckoning says I need 7 Ultras... And don't mention the Marantz!
