RE: Depends on the chassis

Everything makes a difference of some degree or another and back when I cared I came to conclusions about feet.

Small signal electronics with metal chassis' had improved inner detail in the mid-range with a very slight loss of ultimate bass response with the EAR feet that Michael Percy sells for about 75 cents apiece. That was true for SUTs and phono pre-amps that I built and placed on the 1 3/4" thick maple shelves of my rack. Those became my choice over both aluminum and brass cones.





With the hardwood chassis/aluminum top plate construction I use for my pre-amps and amps, unfinished Gabon Ebony is my choice bringing out the best bass weight, clean mids and airy highs. The EAR feet muddy the bass and various cones, while improving bass weight did evil things to the treble.





I reserve brass for replacing steel transformer bolts and the instrument I play.
