I guess I'll kick this one off. A while back I came across a good deal on some FE Ceraballs on A'gon, about the same time I got the LS26. I placed them under the LS26 and that where they've stayed since. To be honest, I have no idea how much of a difference they make, I've been too busy to do comparative listening with and without them. They are certainly well made. And their literature seems based on real science, not snake oil. Same to be said for Silent Running, which I'll never be able to afford unless I hit the Lotto.

I really like their audio stands as well as the silent running products. Maybe I can afford when my rich uncle gets out of the poor house.

Both great products. I would also consider the Grand Prix Audio, Critical Mass and HRX racks. The Audiav racks are also very interesting and seem to have addressed much more than just vibration. Take a look at the Tech Information on the bottom of the page. http://www.audiav.com/

FWIW, I contacted Grand Prix Audio to buy some of their products; they never even returned the call.

I use Ceraballs under my Nagra VPS phono stage and Cerapucs under my Meridian 808i.2. Thinking of getting another set of cerapucs for the Meridian 861 once it is installed.

Finite Elemente's new Pagode Edition rack. It is based on their top-of-the-line Pagode Master rack.

Nice! I like the way they have wrapped the metal struts now. Much more pleasing to the eye

Agreed. They also have more colour options to choose from.

I like the double width and low height of that rack, good to use between the speakers and wouldn't mess with the soundstage too much.
