Dec-24 : News
Following customer request, we decided to extend our Eytri range with variations to accomodate more use cases, and reach further gains… either when there is “more room” to place the Eytri… or when there is less.
Eytri now extends to a full family of 5 declinations – one being dedicated to LP/Vinyl damping.
Original Eytri becomes Eytri II.
Concept
Eytri is a heavy damping puck (“palet presseur” in French) to be placed on the rooftop of your hifi electronics (Eytri I II III IV) or on your Vinyl turntable (Eytri V).
Resonating chassis induce microphony from surrounding context (air and resonating furniture). See Daedale feet for more information on this effect.
Effects are quickly audible
– Bass extension
– Details in low spectrum / low medium
– Pacified trebles ; more details – less harshness
– the bigger, the more effect
Note that Eytri Vinyl was succesfully compared to F.amous brand one 😉
Design
Eytri is a combination from Daedale design, including a thermopastic mix with carbon fiber to transform vibrations in small heat, with dense metal damping along with some vibrations absorber.
Eytri III & IV also feature and additional damping feature, on top of bigger size & weight. See characteristics below.
Which Eytri to choose ?
This is simple. They all share the same characteristics – although III & IV get a bonus in the same direction.
If you have little room or budget, take Eytri I or II (original).
Eytri III & IV require more space and stability, and thus may be limited to less use cases. But they will be at best damping a wooden cabinet or the top chassis of your electronics.
You still do not know ?
Take the original Eytri : now Eytri II
Use
Place on vibrating surfaces, like rooftop of CD players, preamplifiers, amplifiers…
You can rotate it to hide or expose the logo at your convenience.

Uses a spiral rubber feet for better fit to LP.
For max efficiency, placing it on corners goes even further than a single in the center. Keep in mind that all chassis is naturally resonating (responding to surrounding sonic waves), and corners are a meeting point for 3 surfaces… thus enduring much perturbations there.
Etymology
Eytri is a dwarf from Norse mythology, being a master blackmith. He’s mostly famous for having forged Thor’s hammer, Mjölnir. This hammer is so heavy, that only his master can wield it.
New design
Eytri shown above in this page (logo on the side) is the second iteration of our design.
“Old” version – here on the left – had its logo on the top. Following feedbacks we updated the design to provide some discretion option (rotate to show or hide logo). Same efficiency, though.
Testimonies
First impression: It’s very heavy (250g) ! It is suggested to put one on each corner of the CD player, which would make it 1 kilo ! That seems a bit too heavy for my Philips CD-Player. Top cover is relatively thin.
Sound level: IT’S AMAZING!
- The stereo is much better! Back in the 80s, there was stereo and wide stereo! It’s a bit like that! It’s wide stereo, not surround sound!
- The highs are more present
- the lows are more crisp!
- The vocals come out better!
You can say that you can hear all the sounds! Mids, highs and lows are better defined! It’s a success!
Thank you for selling & inventing these !”
