In Reply to: RE: DIY Carbon Fiber Disc Footers posted by Duster on August 04, 2016 at 14:30:48
And yet again you distort or misinterpret what I have said. Please show me where I said that small brass cap nuts compared as equal to or better than Mapleshade's larger brass footers. 1 million dollar reward for that info. What I said is that they bettered the Black Diamond racing cones,IMO. I use much larger brass footers than 5/8 in. brass cap nuts. I put this suggestion forth as an easy, inexpensive first test to see what brass may or does sound like. Certainly Pierre believes his footers sound much better than the BDR Carbon fiber cones. Should be an easy cool million for ya Duster. It's in an escrow account so I don't spend it all on audiophile jewelry. Put up or? Tweaker EDIT: I'm wondering if being called a Troll should be considered an adequate answer to the above inquiry?

Yeah and I would guess Ayre and Cardas think there little Myrtle wood blocks are better than the brass cones.
Gee, it must be system dependent. I don't like the wood blocks, I do like brass cones under my speakers.
The BDR cones which I got used, sounded better to me than the isol-blocks.
Duster's sharing a seemingly new footer/isolation design and you jump in with your acorn nuts. You're kind of a one trick pony, but it is more like two tricks. We have the bigger gauge wire in all applications trick too.
I also like rubber stoppers from the hardware store, now that is a low cost footer.
I would like to try Duster's suggestion for me, as I think they might be ideal under my power amp. Preamp too, as it weighs like 30lbs. I didn't try the BDR cones under my amp, I only bought 8 of them. Every time I have tried something directly under my amp, I have gone back to the stoppers. Well actually my amp has a base of 1 inch veneered mdf[?] sitting on 1 inch brass cones, then a cutting board on isol-blocks, with the stoppers under the amp. I have carpet over concrete, no basement.
When it comes to footers/isolation devices, there is science, there is diy, there are myths, and there are personal preferences.
More false statements about me, this time from Jeff Star. Calls me a two trick pony. Being called a Troll by Duster I can take but a two trick pony gets my hackles up, whatever hackles are? Let's see is someone out there can count beyond two. Carbon conductive grease in the signal path, silver conductive grease in the power supply, putting brass, then wood then EAR Isodamp under equipment. Damping components with Mortite. Parts upgrades which include capacitors, resistors, larger current active devices in power supplies and SS amp outputs. Large cap. value across the AC line. Sanding cd edges, using purple and black paint markers on CD's, using Brillinize on CD's, using a demagnetizer on CD's, wiping cables with Brillinize. Well more than two, I think? Any other preschoolers out there?? I take on all preschoolers. It's my specialty here on AA.
Nothing to see here.
The subject line, that's sarcasm, but I not looking for a debate. Seems every time I encounter you, it is one of the two topics I mentioned. I'm still curious about your system, with all the tinkering, do find time to listen to it?
Yup
