I don't think you should get hung up on the exact reason
something may sound better or worse. Putting some type of
aftermarket footer under a component may change the sound for
good or for bad and that's the only thing that matters.
Personally, I think too many people knee-jerk for aftermarket
footers and IMO, they're not always an improvement. In general,
they seem to clean up a muddy-sounding system, which is good -
IF your system is muddy. But it seems to me that the vast
majority of complaints around here are that their systems sound
lean, forward or harsh and I don't think that cones or isolators
are going to cure that.
