Since 2000, Gingko Audio has introduced many vibration control products, from the Classic Cloud Platforms that have been on Stereophile’s Recommended Components List since 2004, to the patented Acoustic Resonance Clarifiers (ARCHs), to the latest Cloud22 products. All these products represent a complete portfolio of solutions to possible vibrations problems that negatively affect the sound quality.
Besides numerous positive reviews on audio magazines over the years, below are videos demonstrating how to use Gingko Audio vibration control products.
Gingko Audio will be at Capital Audiofest 2022, which will be held from November 11 through November 13, 2022, at the Twinbrook Hilton, 1750 Rockville Pike, in Rockville, Maryland.

Following the successful introduction of the Vibration Control System (VCS) Toolkit, we are offering a special edition of the Large Cloud22 Bases made of wood for a warmer, more musical sound, compared to bases made of acrylic. These Special Edition Large Cloud22 Bases will be available for US$ 159 a set through the end of August.
Gingko Audio has been developing vibration control products since 2000, from the award-winning Cloud 11 platform, which has been on Stereophile’s Recommended Components list since 2004, to the patented ARCH (Acoustic Resolution Clarifier).
For 2022, we are introducing our newest solution, the Cloud22™, which uses wool as a vibration control material. The Cloud22 bases complement the classic Cloud 11 platforms and, together with the ARCHs, provide a comprehensive Vibration Control Solution (VCS) to mitigate much of the vibrations affecting an audio system’s performance.
The Cloud22 bases are available in sets of four, in two sizes: Small Cloud22 Bases for amplification components weighing up to 60 lbs.; Large Cloud22 Bases for amplification components weighing up to 120 lbs. They can also be purchased as part of a VCS Toolkit that includes ARCH products for speakers, digital source components, power conditioners, and other audio equipment:

The Bottom Line
As an introductory offer, through June 30, 2022, the Starter VCS Toolkit can be purchased for $499 (instead of $599) and the Premium VCS Toolkit for $749 (instead of $899).
We at Gingko Audio are fond of saying “the BEST vibration control devices are the ones you can return if they don’t work for you!” That is why we are the only vibration control manufacturer providing a 30-day money back, no questions asked guarantee. So the cost of trying is small, typically only about 10% of the product prices. We only ask that you return them in undamaged conditions and pay for shipping and bank charges we incurred on your behalf.

Built on the patented ARCH design and made of layers of maple, the Equipment and Speaker ARCH offers a number of improvements over the previous product line.
The smooth-layered maple material has superior vibration control performance and is conducive to high-quality finishes.
The larger curvature yields a lower profile while extending the weight loading range: The 1/2″ thick model can support loads of up to 25 lbs. per ARCH; the 5/8″ thick model can support loads of up to 50 lbs. per ARCH. Lighter equipment and speakers (under 15 lbs.) can continue to use the Mini-ARCH.
The 1/2″ thick Equipment and Speaker ARCH is available at $159 for a set of four in a standard black finish; the 5/8″ thick model is available at $179. The product comes with stainless steel M6 bolts, washers, and nuts for convenient replacement of M6 spikes under speakers, at an additional $20. Contact us at gingko@gingkoaudio.com for custom sizes of speaker spike threads.
Built on the patented ARCH design and made of layers of maple, the Cable ARCH offers superior performance as cable lifters for high-end audio systems. The modular implementation allows for three usage options.
No insert – the cable rests directly on the slot provided in the ARCH base.
The cushioning tube is placed in the slot, and the cable rests perpendicularly on the tube.
The wood dowel is inserted into the cushioning tube, which is then placed in the slot; the cable rests perpendicularly on the tube.

Usage Option 2

The Cable ARCH is available in a standard black finish, at $249 for a set of four. Special finishes (mahogany, cherry, natural, white) are available at $299 for a set of four; these finishes require a 3-week lead time.
The Gingko Audio Sextet was introduced at the Capital Audiofest in Rockville, Maryland, in November 2019. Here are some first impressions from show attendees:
“This was a masterful demo; one that clearly demonstrated why you need the extension provided by a full range speaker or a well-mated satellite/subwoofer system. It is not just deeper, more pitch defined, impactful bass, but the addition of the bloom and body, the more correct voicing, and the expansive space and dimensionality that it affords.”
“There were two rooms running Ginko speakers and both systems were very good sounding. One was a $10,000 system running in one of the big rooms which sounded beautifully balanced, natural, and relaxed, without sounding lifeless. The small stand-mounted speaker in another room (I think it was $3,000) sounded very good too-very well balanced and natural sounding.”
“Gingko Audio had for me, the most realistic soundstage with their Sextet speakers that include 2 monitor speakers and 4 subs in a swarm arrangement. Excellent imaging, and the bass was spot on.”
“Gingko audio had small speakers in a small room and bigger speakers in a big room. I only spent a small amount of time in each room, but they both accomplished the naturalness and dimensionality that hits me hardest when it’s there and leaves me least engaged when it’s not.”
Gingko Audio is proud to introduce the Sextet™ Modular Speaker System at the Capital Audiofest in Rockville, Maryland, on November 1-3, 2019. We will feature it in the Monroe room on the third floor.
The Sextet is a collaborative effort that builds upon the Tubulous™ technology from Gingko Audio, the Swarm™ from AudioKinesis, and unique cabinet construction from Salk Sound.
Components
The Sextet can be configured to heighten the listener’s experience with a richer, fuller sound, with up to six components – monitor speakers, a variety of matching subwoofers, and stands:
The Monitor Speakers are built on Gingko Audio’s Tubulous™ technology and experience with the ClaraVu™ and Clarissa LE™ speakers.
Built on AudioKinesis’s Swarm Subwoofer System, the Powered Subwoofers incorporate a built-in amplifier and digital crossover to match the Sextet Monitors.
The Primary and Outboard Passive Subwoofers (up to four units) can be driven by an external sub amplifier in various configurations to suit the room’s acoustics.
The Dedicated Stands are designed for the Sextet Monitors and can be weighted with sand or lead shots for added stability and vibration control.
All Sextet subs and stands incorporate Gingko Audio’s patented ARCH Acoustic Resonance Clarifiers for vibration control and leveling on all kinds of floors.
