In Reply to: Altmann, Germany Altmann Attraction DAC DAC Processors posted by Helge Gundersen on December 2, 2006 at 07:04:21:
I should clarify: I've used the sandbox on felt pads on a decent stand under my dac for some time, and this preceded my getting the Altmann. When I first got the Altmann dac, I simply placed its wood footers on the top of the sandbox (which is MDF). The Ack dac had benefitted from separation from the sandbox's MDF -- even with the sand "vibration sink," the MDF vibrated a little from the bass. With the Ack, in the end, I settled on several mixed pucks consisting of cork and rubber, with a heavy weight on top of the dac. With the Altmann, because of its different construction, I tried the sorbothane pieces between the MDF and the Altmann dac's wood footers. The result was a small but noticeable improvement in clarity of leading edges of transients, of tonal liquidity, and of the tightness of images. I haven't tried anything else as a footer, because, to be honest, I'm so astounded with what I'm getting with this setup.
