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.
John Zurek, Gingko Audio Vibration Control Solution (VCS) Toolkit – Part 2, Positive Feedback, Issue 121, June 10, 2022
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.

Why is it the ARCH Platform sounds better than just using the ARCHs directly under the feet of the component? I couldn’t have placed all six mini ARCHs under my preamp because of the way it is built, and I’m sure the correct weight loading—i.e. how many ARCHs you place in the Platform for the component you’re using—really makes a difference. The Platform allows you to get that weight ratio correct, and you can easily experiment with the number of ARCHs to tailor your sound.
John Zurek, The Gingko ARCH Platform and Acoustic Resonance Clarifier (ARCH) Follow-up, Positive Feedback, Issue 100, June 12, 2018
Everything I had enjoyed up to the insertion of the mini-ARCHs was now elevated. Individual instruments and voices in the music were easier to follow, existed in their own space and had improved tonal characteristics. This translates into better attach and more natural, extended decay (for example the strike of a cymbal and its shimmering tone as it fades off). Bass notes have better tone and are much clearer.
sjackso1, Vibration isolation – Gingko mini ARCHs, Audiogon Forum, March 31, 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.
