Let your Hi-Fi sound the way it was always meant to.
Bad vibes? Bad idea! Let’s see what some music legends have to say about it:
Press play to hear
Leonard Cohen is said to have referred to bad vibes as “a shadow that smothers even the faintest light of grace.” In this rare interview*, the legendary songwriter shares his thoughts on the subject.
*Disclaimer: Believe it or not, this recording is entirely fictional and just for laughs. No secret archives were unearthed, and no cosmic transmissions from Leonard Cohen were received. Hence, any resemblance to real opinions is purely coincidental.
Press play to hear
Tupac Shakur is definitely not down with bad vibes. Just take a listen to this rare, newly unearthed interview* with the hip-hop legend.
*Disclaimer: Believe it or not, this recording is entirely fictional and just for laughs. Regrettably, Tupac didn’t leave us any secret tapes. Hence, any resemblance to real opinions is purely coincidental.
Press play to hear
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart supposedly called bad vibes the very roots of ”pure evil”. Here's an excerpt from his first-ever recorded interview*.

The Most Effective Bad Vibe Killers
“The flutes in Mahler’s 5th are airy and delicate, and you can clearly hear the occasional cough. Someone in the orchestra is evidently coming down with a cold …”
—Geir Nordby, Bild & Ljud Hemma, review of Radius Rack (translated from Swedish).
“All I wanted was physical clearance between pre-amp and carpet. What happened was a benefit to the sound that I simply did not anticipate. Sunilda is a robust, beautifully made, all-valve phono stage with no obvious problems. And yet placing it on the IsoClears lowered the noise floor quite audibly. Background silence simply became quieter […] Every time, a clean up on a par with better mains cables.”
—Ken Kessler, HiFi News & Record Review UK, review of IsoBlack and Feet of Silence.
“But at one point, I almost fooled myself! I had placed the Auralic on a non-suspended Hi-Fi rack nearby, while the other two were on the Solid Tech Hybrid rack. In short, I can say that the two competitors seemed nearly on par with the Auralic when each had a suspended shelf. And here’s the concluding remark from my listening notes: ‘And yes: when the Auralic is also placed on a suspended Solid Tech shelf, it gains fullness and a more pleasing tonal foundation, while still delivering exceptionally crisp and detailed sound reproduction.’”
—Jonas Bryngelsson, HiFi & Musik, review of Hybrid (translated from Swedish).
“The stand is an exceptionally even-handed performer, and in (not) listening to what it does to the sound, you come to realise just how often the support system shades that sound. It lets the system do what it was meant to, with lots of dynamic freedom, plenty of expressive detail and a less ‘peaky’ frequency response.”
—Alan Sircom, Hifi+, review of Balance.
“If you can put aside the years of conditioning your belief system that mass is the only way to go, then the Rack of Silence will reward you with its many sonic benefits and set you apart from the run of the mill, ho-hum designs your audio buddies have settled for.”
—Greg Petan, Stereo Times, review of Rack of Silence, Disc of Silence, and Feet of Silence.

How It Works – FAQ
Vibration isolation is more than just a tweak—it’s foundational to achieving optimal sound quality. Done correctly, it can have a more musically significant impact than upgrading certain components like amplifiers or preamps. While the sonic changes may seem subtle, the improvement in conveying nuances and dynamics makes the music come alive with vitality and presence.
If your music lacks clarity, dynamics, or detail, vibrations could be the cause. Even small improvements in isolation can produce surprisingly significant enhancements in sound quality, making your listening experience much more immersive.
The biggest offender is feedback from the music itself. High-amplitude, low-frequency sounds from the speakers can create significant disturbances, bombarding the system both acoustically and through vibrations transmitted via the floor. Without proper isolation, these effects compromise the clarity and detail of your audio.
While massive slabs may seem like an effective solution, they don’t actually prevent vibrations from passing through. True isolation requires carefully engineered solutions that address both airborne and floor-coupled vibrations.
Always avoid materials such as crystal and marble that have a strong "ringing" characteristic by having the molecular structure well organized. Instead, consider non- ringing materials such as MDF or concrete, by being built randomly.
The supporting shelves should also optimally be isolated from unwanted vibrations, this can be done by using various techniques. Solid Tech uses mechanical isolation techniques.
Absolutely. While it may not produce dramatic tonal shifts, effective isolation can make a profound difference in how music is presented. It enhances clarity, dynamics, and the subtle details that make music engaging, often surpassing the impact of upgrading certain components.
Our products focus on reducing both external and internal vibrations by optimizing resonant frequency and minimizing resonance amplitude. This precision ensures that your system delivers accurate, uncolored sound without being overwhelmed by vibrations from the floor, air, or even the music itself.
Yes! Our vibration isolation technology benefits all Hi-Fi components, from turntables and amplifiers to digital sources like CD players and DACs. Every piece of your system will perform better with reduced resonance.
The best solution depends on your specific equipment, room acoustics, and budget. Our experts can guide you to the ideal stand or rack for your needs, ensuring maximum performance and compatibility with your system.
