The new Semi-Cloud is another entry-level vibration control system from Gingko Audio. The Semi-Cloud consists of a base plate with 9 drilled holes to accommodate the Gingko balls. The Semi-Cloud comes standard with 5 balls to optimally support up to 50 lbs. You may order additional balls to support more weight up to 100 lbs. Its performance is slightly better than the Mini Clouds and is more stable.The underside of the equipment floats directly on top of the balls while the equipment feet are lifted off of the shelf, thus minimizing the height needed for clearance.
