Wilson Audio writes: “Scientific testing and careful listening have shown that the Wilson Audio Pedestal removes more music-destroying vibrations from components when compared to any other device we’ve evaluated. Many of you have discovered the improvements in musicality and resolution realized when placing a set of Pedestals under your components. In a high-resolution audio system, the improvements are often substantial.”
A constituent of Pedestal’s system of vibration reduction relies on the specific compliance—the springiness—of the assembly. As a result, the Pedestal is tuned for a particular range of weights, within which effective compliance is maintained. When used with components weighing less than the specified range, Pedestal’s ability to isolate is reduced. The standard White Pedestal is rated for an 8 – 25 lb range, which means a set of 3 works well with components weighing between 24 – 75 lb and a set of four works within a 36 –100 lb range.
New Silver Pedestal, Rated 3 – 9lb
Now there are two Pedestal models, White and Silver. The weight rating for the new Silver model is 3 – 9 lb (for components weighing 9 – 27 lb used with a set of three). Within this range, the Silver Pedestal achieves the same level of vibration reduction as the White model. When placed under smaller preamps, power supplies, and digital processors, the Silver Pedestal elevates the system’s musicality and resolution to much higher levels.
Pricing for the Silver Pedestal is the same as for the White version.
New Sliver Pedestal
The new Sliver Pedstal widens the range of components with which the Pedestal can be effectively used. Any component weighing 27lb or less should be paired with a set of three Silver Pedestals.
Science=Better Musicality
Pedestal was born of Wilson Audio’s research efforts into the materials and mechanical strategies most effective in reducing unwanted vibration. The new Silver version adds versatility to this SOTA system.
