Do I wish the StillPoints devices were less expensive? Certainly! Do I think they could be made less expensively? I don't think so. Why do I think there are not less expensive devices? They all have a resonance frequency or several frequencies. It is pick your poison.
There is or was one device that had continuously variable resonance. The Neuance shelf made by compressing a three inch sheet of styrofoam with hot plates on both side did this. The inexpensive way of doing this threatened the health of the maker, but no one has sought to do this without a threat to their manufacturing.
I am being realistic in saying that results with most brass tiptoes will be about the same as others, and so on for soft devices, spring, bladders, wood, carbon, steel, aluminum and various combinations.
Until you hear the new StillPoints isolation feet, you can have no appreciation of how fruitless the quest for other isolation devices. I have absolutely no stake in this company.
