Congratulations, Marvin!
If you wish to test an inexpensive alternative to cork and neoprene, consider making footers from 12"x12"x0.5" Very Soft White F10 Felt Sheeting 1/2" Thick 2842T29 @ $29.00 approx.incl. shipping from McMaster-Carr www.mcmaster.com/#felt/=wapqpf . I have found its exclusive use under components and sandwiched between maple blocks produces more musical depth and detail.

Hi DG,
of the ten different felts why did you choose the one you did?
Pixelphoto,
It was recommended for making speaker defraction rings so I bought 6 feet @ approx $80 and had a lot let over after concluding that there was no way that I was ever going to reach an acceptable solution to defraction rings - impossible to cut with clean, smooth, professional edges and to keep stuck in position on the speakers from which they kept falling off. Will shortly be posting of the good-looking defraction ring solution for much enhanced, focused sound that I have since found at less than half the price of the only effective commercial alternative.
So my use of this felt for footers was from trying to make lemonade out of lemon and happily finding that it provides audibly more dynamic sound than cork and neoprene. I did not test other felts of different thicknesses and simply commend this from comparative experience against our common starting materials...

DG, I tried the same as you but with some artificial felt from the big box. Didn't work. My speakers are Definitive Technology STS tower speakers and very narrow with little surface space to attach refraction rings.
