Been using EAR products for 15 years.
C-1002 Black (there used to be a heavier rated blue) feet with CDPs and Phono Stages in metal chassis allow far more airy and revealing highs with just a slight dimunition of bass weight than metal cones or various species of wood blocks.
Amplifiers and pre-amplifiers in wooden chassis do better with Ebony feets so that's how I build mine.
In addition, all my builds have SD-40 Isolation for the magnetics. It outperforms various types of gasket material I've tried. Also superb for tonearm mounting boards as in the aluminum/SD-40/Walnut sandwich I made to mount a VPI JMW arm.
Completely disagree with the opinions of rubber and cork footers here; several different VPI models with brass cones sitting on 2" maple boards isolated by the rubber/cork pads on a single layer of wall mounted Baltic Birch sounds best to me.
