I forgot to mention that there's a 30-day money back guarantee for AUVA. Stack Audio seems pretty confident you won't give them back. 🙂

While not particularly aesthetic, washing machine feet are fantastic and cheap.

If they can stop a washing machine from vibrating the ground, they will definitely be able to isolate speakers and stop speakers vibrations too.

Another amazing review! Keep them coming! Love the calling out of trolls/idiots! They are very annoying.

[DMonZ]

really fascinating and i do trust your verdict, but damn those prices hurt.

[SoundMike]

Excellent review. I do believe vibration control has very positive effects on equipment. Specially those that have mechanical moving parts like speakers, cd players, turntables and such. However, the price of these feet are really out there. Only testing them against my own solutions would I be willing to spend that kind of money. Please do not worry about the trolls. There is a lot more of us that like your work than not.

All the best!

Surely, money is better spent elsewhere?
I don't understand why these feet are so so audiophiles buy them at that price?!?😂

[NeverCryWolf]

I bought the Auva 100s about a year ago. I still wonder about my sanity, but whatever. I like them.

Have you tried these damping feet from Sonic Design? They are very affordable an 8 pack for about 30 euro. Thanks for another good video recension.

[Hiprascal]

Thank you for an excellent review. Video is also excellent. A real pleasure to view.
I too have stand mount speakers and was wondering about the effectiveness of Auva in this application.
Currently my stands are supported by spikes set into aluminum pucks. Similar to what you had previous.
Also, stability is also very important for stands.
Cheers,

I built a few years ago to verify if the improvement is very noticeable. And yes, it is. My two pair of speakers are internally improved so that they do not vibrate but I still appreciate the improvement by better decoupling them from the floor and furniture.

I love the way you describe what you are hearing. I bought a couple of sets of Stackaudio EQ component isolators which are quite a lot cheaper than their auva speaker isolators. I totally agree with everything you described! Totally transformative. Best value upgrade you can make to any system in my view.

Gabster: How the Stack Audio Auva 100 Speaker Isolators changed my view

I purchased the Oehlbach shock absorbers for around 30€ and placed them between my Dali Rubicons and Solid Steel SS6 top plate. I never would have imagined the noticeable change in sound signature like it has in my environment. The bass is tighter, soundstage clearer, better defined, a more agile sound. Considering how expensive my setup is, these 30€ absorbers are a no brainer and simply fantastic. I also added the Dynavox high-end dual absorbers for the Solid Steel spikes. Fantastic quality for the price. These two items combined made a substantial difference to my setup. Isolation, dampening, shock absorbers are a must. ❤

🙋‍♂️SRBJ, GREAT 🤗 TO GET TO KNOW YOUR BACKGROUND 💚💚💚

[bristolwoodburners]

Can you consider doing some music recommendation focused videos please...maybe with specific pointers of where you feel your system performs well -at different parts of tracks for comparison. I know this has been done by others before. You seem to have an eclectic mix when it comes to taste though - not just the same old hifi tracks that have been doing the rounds for years .. I end up enjoying and adding your recommendations when they come up in reviews so would be nice for you to unveil more of the library. 😊

Great review and analysis Srboljub. I have been looking at and implementing vibration attenuation of my hifi components for quite a few years and indeed found great improvements can be made for a relatively small amount of cash compared to buying new equipment! I have looked at all aspects of my audio system and found benefits can be made to every piece of gear especially my turntable but also as you have found speakers. But there are other interesting vibration control techniques that can be applied to amplifiers and digital equipment too.😀 

As always your analysis of the sound improvements is spot on! What convinced me about vibration control was a particular record I heard which had some clapping at the end which was very indistinct and just a blurred noise. After working on my turntable this could be heard as individual clapping and was an astonishing revelation just because I controlled the vibration enough in order for the stylus/turntable to produce the sound cleanly.

Really, REALLY interesting - thanks for another great video 👍😁👍

Thank you for the review!

Thanks for the review. I’ve had my eyes on these and you confirmed what others are saying. On another note, I replaced the partial board shelf under my preamp with one made from quartz I had made and was also shocked by the improvements similar to what you described.
