Articulation is improved because mechanical energy can no longer introduce vibrations into the building structure, microphonics to tube electronics and cables, mistracking of phono stylus and laser beam, digital clocks, loudspeakers and microphones, connections, etc. Elimination of feedback loops, ringing, and resonances means your system becomes an improved, more enjoyable version of itself.

CHOOSE THE RIGHT EVPs FOR YOUR EQUIPMENT

Too little or too much pad deflection will not work to decouple energy transfer. When the equipment weight is properly loading the EVP, the pads compress some, but not fully, allowing the equipment to float. When properly loaded, the EVP will evenly compress by about 10 – 30%.

2” vs. 4”: Generally 4” EVPs should be selected for subwoofers and full-range speakers (offering more material to do more work), and/or when you need the stability, or the load handling. 2” EVPs work for most electronics. More than four EVPs can be utilized.

Different Density Options: When given the option, select the higher density EVP, only because they are less fragile while offering the same performance.

Rubber vs. Felt Finish: Same performance. Generally, select rubber when you don’t want it to move, i.e. under floor standing loudspeakers or a guitar amplifier. Note- rubber finish is taller than felt. Select felt when the equipment will be resting on a smooth surface of some kind, allowing you to easily slide it into position without scratching the surface.
