By placing your speakers on feet, such as the Stack Audio Auva, unwanted vibrations are effectively eliminated.
The new Stack Audio Auva feet use a technique that effectively converts vibrations into heat. This allows the generated energy to be dissipated quickly and efficiently, according to the manufacturer. Ultimately, unwanted vibrations do not reach the floor, preventing further resonances. This, in turn, should lead to more detail, texture, and transparency in the sound. Additionally, the feet are mounted on spikes, providing a double benefit.
Three Variants
The Stack Audio Auva feet are available in three variants: the Auva 50 (€525.27 for 8 pieces), Auva 70 (€1007.37 for 8 pieces), and Auva 100 (€1487.07 for 8 pieces). Unlike the usual practice of indicating the maximum load capacity, these numbers denote the level of isolation: the higher the number, the better the isolation. All feet can support a weight of up to 275 kg per speaker.
I’ve tried all sorts of isolation platforms, rubber feet, spikes, shoe and spikes, Gaia feet and nothing can compare to the Stack Audio Auva feet, I have the Auva 50’s under my stand mount speakers and the Auva 70’s under the speaker stands. It was really the dot on the i as you dutch folk like to say. I have even replaced all my Nord Kones TC’s (570 euro each!! )and Bassocontinuo Mcintosh edition feet from under my Mc pre and power amps with Stack Audio Auva EQ’s, completely mind blowing result. Last but not least my 2 Rel Carbon subs in which John Hunter himself says never to use any footers, spikes, or any kind of isolation. Enter Stack audio SW, the results were mind blowing! In all my 30 odd years as a hardcore audiophile have i ever experienced any kind of feet that make such a huge difference.
I am very pleased for your achievement, William!
