Good posts. Thanks.
Okay, about the make up of the footers, Bob is Mr Zippo Lippo, i.e., he won't say much about their construction.
But just by physically looking at them, it seems obvious to me it is a multi-material approach involving layering, damping and rigidity. He did say that the rubberized covering on the lead ball helped in many ways. And the center material looks like a form of silicon, so it would seem (like Marigo and Stillpoints) that a combination of compliance and rigid tuning is employed.
Compliance usually does affect HF response in a reductive manner, I could not agree more. The Stillpoints avoids this by using very hard materials, even the Delrin damper (internally) is pretty darned hard stuff. And that probably explains the Stillpoints incredible details and HF extension.
It's all about balance, as you aptly described in your post. Again, I could not agree more.
I hope this helps you, and others, in some small way.
Cheers,
WS
