Brass footers over an ebony plank might be a great combo

I have replaced steel speaker spikes with brass cones with good results. Very good improvement on subwoofers.
On most tube equipment, I prefer Ebony over brass cones. I hear more natural tone over brass.
Shun Mook company makes Ebony disks of different sizes, and they incorporate a rather small diameter spike, which points downward into a shelf or platform. The steel they use is hardened, and has a Diamond tip. I have a few sets of them and like them very much. Other types of wood footers, such as Cardas Wood blocks, work just as well on some equipment, so go ahead and try a few.
Shun Mook also makes a Maple platform with an Ebony disk imbedded in the Maple. I have not tried it, but sounds like an interesting idea. I've found that platform material can help or reduce the benefit of specialty footers. Don't forget to try some material on top of your components.

Or how about ebony footers on a brass point? :)
