SuperSonic Stabilizer is a fluorocarbon and metallic composite for use on top of components to increase overall efficiency of compliant isolation feet like Herbie's Tenderfeet and Iso-Cups. Not a mass-loading weight, components are stabilized similarly to resting your palm gently on top of a component, reducing upper-chassis vibration considerably. A strategic, non-magnetic blend of ferrous and non-ferrous particles helps to weaken and disperse RFI and other electromagnetic interference. A thin decoupling layer of black elastomer on the bottom protects component surfaces and prevents the Stabilizer from sliding. We recommend two Stabilizers for most audio and video components. They can be stacked together or spaced separately on the component. For smaller components like some DACs, power supplies, and small CD players, one Stabilizer will do. (Additional weight can be placed on your Stabilizer if you like (e.g., lead fishing weights, sand bag, decorative objects); the Stabilizer will decouple your component from the added weight while still transferring more virtual mass to the component.) SuperSonic Stabilizer is also effective on top of amplifier transformers, on rack shelves, as a base under component feet, and other vibration control applications. Dimensions (each): 2-7/8" (73mm) diameter, .5" (12.7mm) tall. Weight: 167.4 grams (5.9 oz.) Heat-resistant to 500º F (260º C). |

Message: Thanks Steve got the tenderfeet the other day and already i've experimented a bit and found the work superbly on both the cd and the dac but best with 2 stabilizers on top!! Was very sceptical if the TF would better those well know 'pods' and 'cones' since they had worked very well for me but really there was no need to do a comparative test - the TF just blew that combo out of the water!Brilliant result -congratulations on a superb range of upgrade products. Will be back for more soon.

Message: I have been using the stabilizer for about 3 months tryied all possible combos on top of my dac with no luck,then I put them under the dac and what a difference it made like chalk and cheese.The bass was tighter vocals sharpe and clear just about every thing was so much better,the dac sits on 2 tenderfeet with a stabilizer on top of the tenderfeet,the dac I use is a wyred 4 sound 2 this set up works for me.Trail and error nothing to loose more to gain,

Message: Have you ever performed double blind tests using these "Stabilizers"?
Webmaster's reply: Herbie's Audio Lab has performed all kinds of tests using SuperSonic Stabilizers, including double-blind. In many applications, results are readily measurable and easily hearable, rendering double-blind tesing sort of a no-brainer exercise.

Got the stabilizers today,thanks.
Now where on a OPPO 95 do you recommend i position these?
Anywhere?
Also would i really see an improvement on my MF M1 dac and if so where would i put them on that?
Looking for ideas.
Thanks
Mike
Webmaster's reply: Every component and vibrational environment is different, so the only way to determine ideal position of Stabilizers is by experimentation. You'll usually do okay just placing them where it seems like a good spot, like at the middle of the component top. Some trial and error with placement will usually reveal a "sweet spot" where they work the best with a particular component. You might find a single Stabilizer is ideal, or two either stacked or placed separately, laterally, on the component.
A DAC is generally the component in the system most sensitive to microvibrational issues and the most readily improved with Tenderfeet and Stabilizers. Just start off with a single Stabilizer on the Middle of the DAC.
