Synergistic Research Mig SX Isolation Footers

£845.00

Synergistic Research MiG SX footers are an evolution of their original MiG footers developed in 2008. Synergistic Research started with a new specially tuned MiG resonator forged from high carbon steel and add a precision-machined Aircraft Aluminum and Carbon Fibre three-piece chassis engineered to distribute vibration through a special tuning disc and a UEF tuning element into Carbon Tungsten ball bearings. For a bespoke match to your system, MiG SX has two placement options that re-tunes your component’s resonance; choose between Ambient and PinPoint configurations and pick the option that best suits your system on a component by component basis.

Description

Synergistic Research Mig SX Isolation Footers

Synergistic Research developed a three-piece CNC machined Aircraft Aluminum and Carbon Fiber chassis for the transfer of mechanical vibration between the MiG and a special tuning disc, a UEF tuning element, and Carbon Tungsten bearings. These last three components were intentionally included so they could experiment with different materials until arriving at the correct balance of elements that would yield the best sound possible. For example, SR experimented with precision bearings made from stainless steel, brass, aluminum, and carbon tungsten.

Tuning options

Pinpoint.

When you place two MiG SX’s “Round Side Down” and one MiG SX “Round Side Up” under a component, as illustrated in the photo above, you hear a sharpening of soundstage focus with pinpoint image placement and tighter bass. This combination tends to work best when placing MiG SX under PowerCell line conditioners, hard drives, and digital servers or whenever you want a highly focused, less ambient sound. As a rule, most people will predominately prefer one balance over the other with at least one component sounding best in the opposite configuration, and this will give you the best of both options. For this reason, we HIGHLY recommend that you compare your two options on a component-by-component basis and listen for the arrangement that sounds best with each component in your system.

Ambient

When you place two MiG SX’s “Round Side Up” and one MiG SX “Round Side Down” under a component, as illustrated in the photo above, you hear a more ambient layered sound, fuller bass, and images that are less sharp and more rounded. You may also prefer this placement if you like a liquid presentation, or if you want a vacuum tube-like sound expecially when used with solid-state phono pre-amps and D to A converters. As a rule, most people will predominately prefer one balance over the other with at least one component sounding best in the opposite configuration, and this will give you the best of both options. For this reason, we HIGHLY recommend that you compare your two options on a component-by-component basis and listen for the arrangement that sounds best with each component in your system.

To evaluate these different material options, with different internal elements and compared them in double-blind listening tests in their reference system until they arrived at Carbon Tungsten ball bearings, which sounded best. Likewise, the tuning ring and UEF elements were altered between different materials and formulations until they arrived at just the right combination
