The Components Stand SS is an upgraded version of the original Components Stand, and is 10 years in the making. It is designed so that Stillpoints fitted to the rack come into direct contact with your equipment, meaning they are better able to deal with the mechanical vibrations created by it.
Please note: this product DOES NOT come with any isolation feet included - instead, there is an Ultra Base supplied with each leg. You will need to order any desired isolation feet separately.

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.
The Stillpoints Component stand does NOT include Stillpoints isolation devices themselves. You choose which Stillpoints Vibration Isolation device to configure with your rack. Please contact us for recommendations if in doubt.
Recommended Stillpoints
The Ultra 6 V2 and Ultra 2 V2 are recommended because they have pockets of Stillpoints technology on both the top and bottom sides, allowing them to absorb and dissipate resonance and vibration going to and coming from the component itself.
The Stillpoints Component Stand SS is the Stillpoints answer for 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 well.
As an example, using the Component Stand to support monoblock or stereo amplifiers allows placement of these components closer to loudspeakers. Closer to the loudspeaker means shorter speaker cables.
Options
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 SS V2, Ultra 2 V2, Ultra 5 V2, or Ultra 6 V2.
Rigid, Minimalist Design With A Purpose
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.
Flexible Tuning
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.
What’s In The Box
Stillpoints is a renowned company based in the United States that specialises in designing and manufacturing high-quality audio isolation products. Founded in the early 2000s by a team of passionate audio enthusiasts, Stillpoints has gained a strong reputation for its innovative solutions that significantly improve the performance of audio systems. The company's primary focus is on developing isolation products that address the issues of mechanical noise, vibrations, and resonance that can degrade the sonic quality of audio systems. By effectively isolating audio components from these unwanted effects, Stillpoints products allow systems to achieve higher transparency, resolution, and musicality.
Stillpoints offers a wide range of isolation products designed for various applications, including speakers, amplifiers, turntables, digital equipment, and more. Their product lineup includes the popular Ultra Mini, Ultra SS, Ultra 2, Ultra LPI, Ultra 5, and Ultra 6 models, each tailored to specific components and system requirements.
One of the notable features of Stillpoints products is their unique "technology pockets" that consist of multiple layers of ceramic ball bearings and steel races. These pockets minimise contact between the component and the supporting surface, effectively floating the equipment and dissipating unwanted energy.
The company's commitment to exceptional build quality is evident in its manufacturing process. All Stillpoints products undergo rigorous testing and are crafted using high-quality materials to ensure optimal performance and longevity. The company's attention to detail is exemplified by the laser-etched branding found on each product.
Stillpoints has established a loyal following among audiophiles, recording studios, and music professionals due to the significant improvements its isolation products bring to audio systems. With their ability to enhance resolution, dynamics, and overall musical enjoyment, Stillpoints has become a go-to choice for those seeking top-tier performance from their audio setups.
In summary, Stillpoints is an esteemed American company known for its cutting-edge audio isolation products. By addressing mechanical noise and vibrations, their solutions allow audio systems to perform at their highest potential, delivering a superior listening experience.
