Specifically, the baby booties for my Wright tube phono preamp. I saw Steve's comments about Norsorex in his FAQ and that got me looking.IME, his HAL-Os and turntable mats are, well, way excellent.
Please post your impressions after you've had a chance to give the Tenderfeet and Baby Booties a good listen!

The funny thing is that I've had rather negative luck with Herbie's stuff so far -- liked the turntable mat at first, bought another one (thicker) after the first one started to dissatisfy, and now have both of them parked in my closet (back to the Boston Audio Mat 1). And the pair of HALO-S I bought for my 845s just dulled the sound, I thought, though a fellow user of exactly the same amps like their effect just fine and is happily using mine.I have the Baby Booties under an overachieving cheap SACD player (Sony DVP NS500V), which is too light for the dead balls unless I weight the top of it a LOT, and this sounds like a synergistic combo so far. The Tenderfeet will go under either another SACD player or my linestage, not sure which. Still pondering where to put the second quartet of Baby Booties. And I'm doing some simultaneous cable stuff, so Lord only knows what benefitis I can ultimately attribute to what tweaks :-)
Like most tweaks, it depends, eh?It is tough to determine what tweaks do when a lot is being changed around.
Thanks for the feedback. let me know what you end up deciding about the footers.
Didn't like them on my power tubes at all , liked them on my driver tubes a lot .As for my preamp, they have been a nice addition there as well.
Glad I'm not hearing things, then. (Or not not hearing them. Whatever.) The experiment with 845 outputs was my sole HAL-O experience, though I've used other tube dampers.
