Description
The Mini-Clouds can be placed anywhere under the bottom of
the component to balance the load. As with the Cloud 10 and Cloud 11, each ball
has an optimal load of 10 lbs and a capacity of 20 lbs. So a set of Mini-Clouds
is perfect for components weighing 30-40 lbs. For heavier components, simply
add more Mini-Clouds (Mini-Clouds are available only in sets of three).
Since the Mini-Clouds do not require a top plate, their
profile is lower than that of the Cloud 10 or Cloud 11, which is beneficial
when shelf space is limited. Their base has the same double thickness as the
Cloud 11’s bottom plate, with a deep well and dimple; the balls won’t roll off
the dimples unless you deliberately push really hard.
If you have an entry-level high-end audio system worth $5000-$6000,
say, a Music Hall or Antique Sound Labs integrated amp, a Creek or Arcam CD
player, a pair of Reference 3A Dulcet speakers on stands, cables, and power
conditioning, a 20% improvement would conservatively be equivalent to a
$1000-$1200 upgrade… versus the cost of a set of Mini-Clouds.
At $119-retail per set, the Mini-Clouds provide effective
vibration control at a reasonable price. In our vibration tests, they remove on
average 95% of the vibration between 5 Hz and 500 Hz, compared to 98% for the Cloud
10, and 99% for the Cloud 11.
