Equipment and Speaker ARCH

Price range: $159.00 through $209.00

Based on the patented Acoustic Resonance Clarifier™ design, the Equipment and Speaker ARCH is made of high-quality layered maple material that offers superior vibration control performance. The two options of thicknesses and diameters offer more optimal load bearing based on the component’s weight.

Description

The Equipment ARCH comes in three sizes:

  • 1/2″ thick and 9.5″ diameter to support a load of up to 15 lbs. per ARCH.
  • 1/2″ thick and 7″ diameter to support a load of up to 25 lbs. per ARCH.
  • 5/8″ thick and 9.5″ diameter to support a load of up to 50 lbs. per ARCH.

The 1/2″ thick Equipment ARCH is available in a standard black finish at $159 for a set of four; the 5/8″ thick set is available at $179. Please note that the 5/8″ thick and 7″ diameter model (for loads up to 100 lbs. per ARCH) has been discontinued.

With the additional M6 hardware (available at $30), these Equipment ARCH models can also be used under speakers with M6 spikes. Contact us at gingko@gingkoaudio.com if your speakers have spikes of a different size.

Product Reviews

…surprised by the noticeable improvements in clarity and details (…) heard after installation…

Thomas and Stereos

This room tuning kit is a must for anyone wanting to really hear their systems. The differences were enormous and well worth the money.

Frank Iacone, Gingko Audio VCS Toolkit – Best $499 you can Spend, HiFiAudio Guru, June 2022

Both the Cloud22 bases and the Cloud22 wool balls allow the midrange to shine through like nothing I’ve heard before, and make you want to dance. Gingko has some real champs on their hands here, and I recommend that you audition any or all of the products in this review.

These days, more than ever, I look for a price-to-performance ratio that makes sense for this economically challenging time, and the ARCHs fit right in with my philosophy […] Using ARCHs designed for components, speakers, and cables allowed my system to sing at a higher level when they were used collectively vs. individually.

John Zurek, Gingko Audio Vibration Control Solutions (VCS) Toolkit – Part 1, Positive Feedback, Issue 120, April 21, 2022

The first thing you notice with the ARCHs is a big improvement to overall transparency and clarity. That alone is worth the price of admission. I also heard an expanded soundstage, improved imaging, incredible separation/layering, and a blacker background.

John Zurek, The Gingko Acoustic Resonance Clarifier™ (ARCH), Positive Feedback, Issue 97, May 25, 2018

On a fundamental level where judiciously employed, the Acoustic Resonance Clarifiers could make marked enhancements in the enunciation of information in the critical lower mid through upper octaves of an electronic component or loudspeaker. Such results require patience and come with a proviso.

Glen Wagenknecht, Gingko Audio ARCH, 6moons.com Audio Reviews, January 2018

Further sonic improvements were gained by placing the Mini-ARCHs under my Chord DAVE, sMS-200, tX-USBultra, and BRIX media server. This is quite nice given the form-factor, ease of use, and price of the ARCHs. I was also able to tune my system using various amounts of Mini-ARCHs under my source equipment. This worked especially well for the SOtM sMS-200. Having 8 Mini-ARCHs was a tad bright while using 4 struck a perfect balance. Tuning your system with vibration isolators sounds ridiculous but I think adjustability makes these ARCHs quite attractive.
