  The real question is , how did you manage to break it  

 

 
Yeah, I thought they could withstand even a tank:

Tried it with my DAVE - tank's a write-off.

Well, it looks like I'm joining the club - my black DAVE will be in my hands sometime next week.
 
Question for those of you that have purchased the stand - is it just purty looking or is there any sound quality benefit?
 
Thanks in advance,

You must be new around here!
 
Audiophiles cannot be trusted with questions like that

Ha! guess I deserve that. At any rate, I'm hoping to get some feedback on whether or not there really is some isolation benefits from the stand. I mean it looks cool, but it is a lot of money...especially if Stillpoints or something similar are better (and cheaper).

The DAVE stand from Chord doesn't have any significant isolation aspects that I can establish by looking at our demo. It's pretty and it is certainly DAVE specific. The rubber feet on the legs seem to be all you get.

Rob watts claims that there are benefits, but no audiophiles appreciated my british sense of humour.

Thanks and from everything I've read, rubber feet don't much for isolation

why not trying feets like those ? I use 3 of them under my BHSE and also 1 positioned upside down on top of the HUGO

Well it happens to be one of my expertise and I have to agree, you're right rubber feet don't do much for isolation. But to be sure, I do like the way it saddled the DAVE very nicely and it does look much better than simply setting the DAVE on a shelf or desk top. IMO

Those are similar to the Stillpoints which is prolly what I'll do. I can't see spending $2500+ for the Chord stand if it is only for aesthetics. I may be dumb, but I'm not stupid...much...
