Harmonic Resolution Systems (HRS) Vortex Isolation Footers These Chassis Noise Reduction footers by Harmonic Resolution Systems (HRS) were bought very recently (June 2024), but as it turned out, they are not required. I currently use another set with incredible effect under my DAC. But these brand new footers have to go unfortunately. HRS is possibly better known for its incredibly good [and expensive] HiFi racks, but it also has a range of footers and noise reduction products that are very effective. They work on the principle of constrained layer damping and mass – each footer is over 900
This is a fair ask: at A$1,500, it sits below the A$1,645 25th percentile and well under the A$1,772 median of the recent AUD comparables, so it reads as a solid buyer-friendly price rather than an ambitious one. For a serious hi-fi setup, that makes it comfortably in the “worth a look” zone.
What you’re paying for here is the sort of upgrade that can quietly lift a system: better isolation, lower smearing, and a cleaner sense of focus and timing, especially under source components like DACs. These are well-regarded for extracting more calm and refinement from already-good gear, so a clean, complete set at this price has real upside.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Harmonic Resolution Systems (HRS) was founded in 2000 by Michael Latvis in Buffalo, New York, drawing on his extensive engineering expertise in vibration isolation. Latvis, who holds multiple patents from prior work on nuclear systems, helicopter rotors, avionics, and military applications, established the company to apply these principles to high-end audio and video equipment. Over two decades, HRS has built a reputation for precision craftsmanship, with all products manufactured in the US using proprietary materials and exotic finishes by skilled engineers and technicians.
The brand specializes exclusively in noise-reduction and vibration-control solutions, including equipment racks, stands, isolation platforms, and bases. These modular, application-specific designs target the elimination of signal loss and resonance during playback, optimizing performance for amplifiers, sources, and speakers without delving into active electronics like amplifiers or DACs. HRS products emphasize broadband isolation tailored to component types, enabling systems to adapt as setups evolve.
Positioned firmly in the high-end niche, HRS commands respect among discerning audiophiles for redefining realism in music reproduction through superior mechanical engineering. Far from mass-market or mid-tier offerings, their racks and platforms represent boutique excellence, often transforming reference systems into lifelike events. Performance-driven and music-obsessed, HRS holds a premium market standing, where engineering rigor meets audible magic.
