RE: Amp Footers

Posted by Lew on April 15, 2016 at 08:17:09:
I use the huge Mapleshade brass tiptoes sitting on or in a hardwood cutting board that I bought from a kitchen supply store, not from an audio vendor. (Three tiptoes per Atma-sphere monoblock.) That big heavy board sits atop a pair of Sound Anchor amplifier stands, which itself has Simply Physics tiptoe feet. I don't like mushy things under my electronics, in general, but I do use Herbie's squash balls in a cup under something somewhere. ( I lose track of the two systems at times.) Herbie's balls compress up to a point but are not mushy. (Apologies to Mrs Herbie.) I am also a big fan of Goldmund cones under my preamplifiers. As you may know, I use small cans of Mandarin Orange slices in water, sitting on a tiptoe, under two of my turntables with home-made slate plinths. The SP10 Mk3 has Stillpoints.
