Great news. I never heard of them, time to take a look.

I've got two sets one under the DAC and one under the preamp and they do work well. I am only using the tripod method with mine though instead of four. Probably work just as well under speakers on wood, tile or suspended floor similar to Orea's just wouldn't be any attachment.
Ordered a set of EVPs from Norm Varney's AV Roomservice on Cyber Monday and put them under my REL sub tonight.
Wow...
:amazing:

Hi Paul,Hi Stephen...I currently have my sub sitting on the original Stillpoints component stand. I’ve been thinking about adding EVP’s or Gaia’s. I wasn’t aware of the cyber Monday deal Av Roomservice was offering. I probably would have taken advantage of it.
I have been meaning to try it for a while now and didn't even know there was a Cyber Monday deal....
Stephen, what made you decide using it under the RELs first vs in other places, like the components or even the speakers ?
Man, I cannot believe the improvement putting the EVPs under the REL sub made.
They made the room notably quieter. This translates to notable improvement in transparency, detail, pitch and timbre accuracy, and resolution in the bass, mid-bass, lower mids, mids, and upper mids through the entire presentation.
This cartoon from Norm Varney at A/V Roomservice depicts what they do quite well.

What type of floor does your sub sit on?
Not to say that they won't help with a ground-level solid floor, the EVPs are most noticeable as an improvement when you have a suspended floor, such as over another room or basement. In such cases, the improvement is H-U-U-U-G-E.
This is exactly my situation with my townhome on an upper level above a series of garages below. You nailed it, Jim.Not to say that they won't help with a ground-level solid floor, the EVPs are most noticeable as an improvement when you have a suspended floor, such as over another room or basement.

What are you using now, on what sub?I have hardwood over concrete and will find out soon if the EVPs would help or not![]()
