Kunter,

Did you try the Vibrapod cones as well and are there advantages to be had from using either of the pods?

I did in the past and too long ago now to remember...

I use vibrapods when I visit my dealer and would like to listen to some new gear with Devialet. If Devialet is on a hard floor, I don't like the signature so I simply throw in the vibrapods...

In my setup, I have a Finite Elemente Master rack with vibration sucking resonators, and recently added Stabilian feet with a good effect.

I would try Vibrapod first, or even the package foam (which is free) to see if you like the effect.

Cheers.

Back from 10 days of traveling and Vibrapods are here. I slid them under the Devs (just the pod at the moment). Can't really tell if the pods did something or it is my believes in your words but some 'calming' down they did. But as I still probably cook in the dedicated mains, Petit Coronas, digital cables, much could be a single contributor to the increase in fidelity as time goes.

Still have to try the vibrapod cones with or without the pods.

Just had a religious moment listening to For you with Tracy Chapman, never heard this piece so organic and free floating and there. I am still goose bumping!

Hi,

For info. I have my D400 in "stack", with the Companion on bottom and Master on top. I use the pods beneath the Companion Unit and 3 cones between the Master and Companion. I found that this had a number of very +ve benefits both in terms of SQ and controlling the temp of the individual units. The transparency improved, bass was more extended and music became more relaxing to listen to. Difficult to describe and put into words, but overall listening pleasure was enhanced at a relatively low cost. Separating the 2 units also gives room for better airflow between them.

I am now into the process of looking at digital cables to replace the stock Crystal cable supplied with the D400!

Hi David,

Thanks for the feedback! Yes there is something but as I said many things are newly introduced in my system...
I also dressed my PSU's (Streamer and Turntable) with pods, nice as there I heard some calming down (upper freq) but mostly lower noise floor but with some better definition.
I would def recommend you to have them side by side, it made big diff for me.
For me it was a no brainer to change the Crystal cable to something else. See tests/reviews on this forum as well as comments about this.

Cheers/Mike

Hi Mike,

Thanks for this. Difficult for me to have Units side by side because of where I have them currently located!

Yes, have been following reviews on this forum with interest - seems that stock Crystal cable is not a popular choice!
