Priced Per Set Of 3
SteinMusic's Super Natural Matrix footers are the latest and most sophisticated feet for components and speakers. Sold in sets of 3, two of the three are made of African Zebrawood with the smaller section facing downward. The Third is made of Olivewood with the smaller section meant to point upward. To achieve their sonic benefits, they implement ceramic rods, felt pads, and Stein's proprietary magic they simply call quantum physics.
Why Ceramic? Ceramic has a very fast energy transfer. The felt pads are normally very damping, but when impregnated with a special lacquer the result is a tighter, more natural transient response and decay.
The carefully selected wood is a choice made after many experiments with many varieties of wood. The combination of African Zebrawood and Olivewood gives the music a very natural sound. Nothing is electronic sounding (unless its electronic music) or forced. There is a beauty and a flow to the music.
The construction process involves over 130 steps
They are more open sounding than the Super Natural Signatures. Taking the already impressive attributes of the Signatures and taking it significantly further.
What To Expect
The soundstage will become wider and more open. Voices and instruments are precisely placed. The expression of the music is fine, subtle, intense, sonorous and colorful.
Use
As we mentioned in the first paragraph, 2 of the three Super Natural Matrix are made with African Zebrawood and oriented with the smaller section towards the surface the footer sits on. The third is Oriented with the smaller section touching the component. When in doubt, the brass rings on all three will face upward. Start with your source components first. Dac, Streamer, etc. Personally I like starting at opposite ends of the audio chain and working my way towards the middle. I start with source and speakers, then preamp, then amps.
Placement
If you have a component with a heavy device like a transformer on one side, place the olivewood Super Natural Signature directly where this heaviest part is.
Then use the remaining two zebrawood Super Natural Signatures to balance the device out so that these two feet carry about the same weight. This must not necessarily end up in a symmetric placement of the feet, but is very important to achieve the best results.
When placed properly, these feet excel at creating a holographic soundstage without exciting the high frequencies. They relax the presentation to a more natural, engaging and pleasant level.
