THE STILLPOINTS DIFFERENCE
HOME / THE STILLPOINTS DIFFERENCE
LOWERING THE NOISE FLOOR
Stillpoints are isolation devices that sit under your components and loudspeakers, effectively decoupling them from the environment on which they sit. They are designed to eliminate unwanted vibrations and noise, the results of which allow you to hear more detail, increased dynamics, and more musicality. They heighten transparency, the speed of transients, as well as adding air, space, and dynamics (to name a few attributes) to aid in the most natural presentation. The multiple-tier filter in each product provides isolation and control of destructive vibrational energy, and in doing so it substantially improves the sonic and musical qualities of your audio system.
Our products are designed to be universal, predictable, reliable, and balanced performers. Their longevity is unmatched. They are made of stainless steel and ceramics alone. There are no springs or elastomeric materials that will fade in performance over time. In short, they are virtually indestructible and as such have incredible longevity, performing consistently for a lifetime.
The performance enhancement qualities of Stillpoints are not subtle. Our products will bring you closer to the event and make your system sound dramatically more life-like and natural. All of our products enhance any music system without touching the signal path.
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DAMPING AND ISOLATION
Damping is a decrease in the amplitude of an oscillation as a result of energy being drained from the system to overcome frictional or resistive forces. Isolation is the act of isolating or the quality or condition of being isolated. It literally means ‘to cause to be alone or apart’ . If you have a device that has direct contact from top to bottom, (12 o’clock to 6 o’clock) like single bearing devices, no matter what the materials used, it is damping – not isolating.
True isolation does not have a direct path between surfaces. Stillpoints’ patented technology stacks bearings such that there is no direct contact between the component and the surface upon which it rests. Human hearing is generally considered to be 20Hz-20kHz. With electronics, Stillpoints’ technology effectively functions over 20kHz. Typical damping products operate below 20kHz; thus shifting tonality. Despite this tonal shift, Stillpoints can easily be used with damping products to great success.
BEWARE COUNTERFEITS
As with any coveted product, Stillpoints is unfortunately subject to counterfeiting. Although the counterfeit products may look pretty good, the construction is often poor and the technology is always absent.
Stillpoints products should only be purchased direct from us or via our network of approved dealers to ensure you receive the quality of product you expect.
Here’s a list of things you can expect from a counterfeit Stillpoints product;
- Poor machining techniques
- Very poor cosmetics
- Limited processes – not all the processes that Stillpoints uses
- Very poor to no laser markings
- Bad threads
- No brushing or texturing
- No Loctite used
- Technology pockets not to spec
- Bodies not to spec
- Higher iron content in the stainless steel used which will affect the way the filter sounds
PATENTED AND MADE IN THE USA
All Stillpoints products are manufactured by vendors in the greater metropolitan area of Minneapolis / St Paul, MN. USA. They are designed, processed, assembled, packaged and shipped from our factory in Hudson, WI. USA.
“Lower the Noise Floor Mechanically” Ultra Mini
The standard Ultra Mini consists of three primary elements: body, base, and filter.
The narrow tapered Mini Body houses the technology filter. The technology filter used in the Ultra Mini is actually one of our circuit board standoffs. The disk-shaped Mini Base threads on to an 8-32 stud extending from the filter. There is a small amount of adjustment available for leveling by rotating the base on the stud. Each Ultra Mini can support 50 pounds. The Ultra Mini is not recommended for floor standing loudspeakers. The possibility of dropping one corner down with all the weight onto one Ultra Mini could damage the filter. Thus, we underrate the capacity to 50 pounds. The Ultra Mini is still version one. With circuit board standoffs there is a need for exact heights; 1/2”, 5/8”, etc. to make the circuit board standoffs in Version II requires a total rework of the design.

Ultra SS V2
The Ultra SS V2 consists of two primary sections. The tapered body containing the filter technology and the adjustable disc called a Hard Hat. The Hard Hat offers leveling adjustability via a threaded stud.
If you wish to “hard mount” the Ultra SS to your components or loudspeakers, there is 1/4-20” threaded bore at the large diameter end of the body. An appropriate adapter can be mounted in this location. You might also choose to mount an Ultra SS Spike. Removing the Hard Hat also provides another location to mount an adapter or spike as desired. Determine the thread size of your component or loudspeaker and order the appropriate size threaded adapter.

Ultra 5 V2
The Ultra 5 V2 derives its name from having five pockets of Stillpoints patented technology. When using four Ultra 5’s under one component or loudspeaker, twenty pockets of technology are being used. A 1/4-20 female thread is located on top of the flat half of the Ultra 5. Stillpoints has added a 1/2-20 female thread to the beveled half. This allows for the attachment of the new Ultra 5 Bullet Spike”, or an adapter specifically made for attaching the Ultra Base. The Ultra 5 is best used under loudspeakers with the appropriate adapter attaching them to the spike insert.

LPI V2
LPI V2
The LPI V2 slips over the spindle of your turntable and rests on the label portion of the LP. This mechanism absorbs the micro vibrations that are present at the label area, which allows the cartridge to reproduce what is pressed on the record, without any additional resonant frequencies being added. Fine details are more recognizable and lifelike. Stillpoints has extended the technology pockets, so the new LPI V2 will fit over both long and short spindles. There is an adapter (with wrench) included for extremely short spindles like on a Rega or Garrard 301.
The LPI can also be placed on top of loudspeakers, components, and transformers of tube equipment.

Ultra Piano
The Ultra Piano is available to provide isolation between a piano and the resonant characteristic of the floor it rests upon, and the inherent interaction between the two. Jazz pianists like the sound of the Ultra Piano when the stainless-steel plate is used. Classical pianists prefer the sound of the Ultra Piano when directly used on wood floors.
The stainless-steel plate is provided to place underneath the bars containing the technology filters. The plate supports the technology bars and protects the floor.
The Ultra Piano feet are width adjustable to accommodate the varying diameter of casters used on many pianos, up to 2 inches.

Component Stand SS
The Component Stand SS is the Stillpoints answer to those audio systems requiring the remote placement of stereo or mono block amplifiers too large to place in a standard rack. The Component Stand SS can also be used to support individual components at floor level should that be a preferred system setup approach.
As an example, using the Component Stand to support mono block or stereo amplifiers allows placement of these components closer to loudspeakers. Closer to the loudspeaker means shorter speaker cables.
The stainless-steel (SS) Component Stand frame is available in three leg or four leg versions, in both nine- and eleven-inch leg lengths. The Component Stand is to be used in combination with the Ultra product of your choice: Ultra Mini, Ultra II, Ultra SS V2, Ultra 5 V2, or Ultra 6 V2.
The robust stainless-steel frame design allows components of high mass to be supported easily. Many other stands or platforms designed for this use are made of large square or rectangular plinths. These stands, with large surface areas, are subject to becoming resonant diaphragms themselves, absorbing and reflecting airborne and mechanical vibration.
By comparison, the Component Stand SS is a strut like structure with little surface area to be affected by resonance. The open design of the Component Stand SS also allows airflow to circulate and cool the component.
Tuning of the stand to your component is one of the strengths of the Component Stand SS. The legs can be rotated around a central hub to accommodate components of multiple sizes. Within the frame, you can move the Ultra filtering devices along the rail system in each leg.
Adjusting the location of the filter along each rail allows you to determine the best position to both support the component and maximize the filtering of vibration borne resonance for best fidelity. This system allows components to perform at a maximum of their potential.
After the success of the original component stand, Stillpoints has done over ten years of research and development before releasing the “NEW” Component Stand SS.
The Component Stand SS is a great design that illustrates how one uses any Stillpoints isolator. Bypassing the components original feet, making contact with the bottom of the chassis to come in direct contact with the micro vibrations that are generated by the electrical current running through the devices on the circuit board and following the circuit board standoff down to the chassis’ bottom

Until now, the ESS rack has been configured with each shelf level utilizing either an Acrylic Shelf, an X Grid, or a combination of both. The Rail Grid is the next generation of ESS performance upgrade.
The Rail Grids mount perpendicular to the front and rear support bars. On the underside, near the end of each Rail are machined slots, profiled to rest over the existing square dimension of the front and rear support bars. Once installed on the support bars, the Rails can slide laterally left and right to create a support frame ideal in width for the specific component to be used. Once the Rail Grid is in position to supra the component, turn the thumb screws to tighten the Rail Grid into place. This renders a tight shelf assembly.
Channels in the top of each rail hold T-nuts that can be moved forward or back as needed to adjust for depth of a component. Attach an Ultra of your choice, from Ultra Mini to Ultra 6, to the T-nuts and adjust the location of each, forward and back, to support your component. With the adjustments complete, a Rail Lock is supplied which will affix the rail firmly in place for ultimate stability.
Sonically, every aspect of the performance of the ESS is enhanced. Harmonic body and weight gives flesh to the musicians. The image is refined beyond anything we have done before.
The Rail Grid adds greater rigidity than the standard X Grid, supports heavier components more effectively, and allows greater flexibility for Ultra filter placement specific to each component while taking full advantage of the suspended isolation that is the hallmark of the ESS Equipment Rack.
The Rail Grid will fit any Stillpoints 3/4” support bar. If the technology pockets are in the way of the placement, then rotate the bar 180 degrees and you will have total freedom of placement.

THE STILLPOINTS JOURNEY
HOME / STILLPOINTS JOURNEY
CONSIDERATIONS FOR YOUR SYSTEM
Paul Wakeen takes you through his recommendations when starting your Stillpoints journey.
The first component we’d recommend to receive the addition of Stillpoints are your loudspeakers. The Ultra SS V2, Ultra 5 V2 and the Ultra 7 (which has the V2 technology from its inception) are designed for this purpose.
Next, isolate the AC line conditioner as it filters the AC to all of your components. Then look at the component that has the largest power supply. An amplifier or a preamplifier that has a separated power supply.
Read: The Audio Beat, October 3, 2012 by Roy Gregory, The Audio Beat’s System Setup and Optimization Seminar.
Now work through your entire system until every component is isolated.
It is at this point that the sound will transcend some of the incremental improvements to a much more life-like, natural presentation. The artefacts of mechanical reproduction disappear and the presentation of the recorded event come to life.
STILLPOINTS FOR ELECTRONICS
The Ultra II, which has the V2 technology from its inception and Ultra 6 V2 are the best Stillpoints for electronics. The Ultra Mini is our Circuit Board Isolator assembled with a Body and a height adjustable Base. The Ultra Mini will provide the same dynamics, air, transparency, immediacy and presence as all our other Stillpoints in the most compact and cost-effective package.
NEXT STEPS
Once you have isolated everything in your system on your normal rack, it’s then time to consider elevating your listening experience to newer heights by setting up your components on an ESS rack.
With the Stillpoints you already have you can now experience the dynamic and profound change of going from an ordinary rack to a rack that excels in everything Stillpoints excel in.
We have replaced Newport Technologies air bearing research tables (we still have one at our factory if anyone is interested) with our ESS racks to many customer’s delight and amazement.
ACOUSTIC TREATMENT
I have been told by many of our Stillpoints customers that our Aperture II’s are the best product we make.
Nowhere else will you find a better acoustic treatment. Aperture II’s will increase focus, depth, presence, air, micro detail and dynamics. Stillpoints Aperture II’s are in a league of their own, being the only product that combines an absorber, a diffuser and a resonator, all in one panel – and a small attractive panel at that.
Customers tell me if they were forced to make a choice between buying Stillpoints or Apertures they would buy Apertures. The funny thing is, they had already purchased Stillpoints when they added the Apertures. Having Stillpoints in the system allows Apertures to bring out the most exciting aspects of the listening experience. The converse is also true. Stillpoints Ultras, the ESS Racks and Apertures have a symbiotic relationship.
“Last night I went back in time, to February 1978, and “watched” Leonard Bernstein conduct the Vienna Philharmonic in Beethovens’s Symphony 3, from a superb reissue on vinyl of his final cycle of the symphonies, recorded live in Vienna (9 LP’s Deutsche Grammophon 479 8721). My room dropped away. I was in Vienna’s Musikverein. Stillpoints’ Aperture II panels made suspending disbelief in time travel and teleportation far easier, and that late – evening excursion affirmed why I got involved in the crazy hobby in the first place.”STEREOPHILE’S ANALOG CORNER, THE SOUND OF NOTHING BY MICHAEL FREMER, JUNE 2019
