Walker Valid Points or Mapleshade Footers for preamp?

Tbg,

Sorry to say coated or not I don't want it in my house. So to understand this is to see me as strange maybe but never the less safe.

I do agree with you that thay are junk comparied to the products we are using.

Superior is the WVP? One into coated lead and one into maple,wow you have good ears my man.

Tbg,

Do you mean to tell me that the WVP is so superior that you could A/B both MSF & WVP and pick out the WVP every time under a tube preamp?

Guys, which MSF brass footer exactly are you talking about? There are several different versions.

Cmk,

I had the best and newest one's MS made going into 4" of maple.

After hearing the HRS M3 I knew both were rubish. Walker makes some great stuff but ........

One would have to guess which one sounds better, MSF or WVP, if you A/B them.

Glory, I strongly dislike maple. In every instance, it has robbed my sound of dynamics. Actually, I didn't use Walker's pucks under the Valid Points. I found the IsoClean small cups sound quite a good deal better. I did find that Walker's pucks helped the performance of components once you found the right place to put them. Now, however, I don't use them there either.

I think Walker's Valid Points and pucks can be quite useful and are a less expensive method of improving isolation. I also thought the Neuance shelves were outstanding and inexpensive. They are no longer made.

I have found no better racks than the long ago always quite favorably reviewed Mana shelves. I have tried many others to no avail other than that they looked good.

I say all of this assuming that everyone knows YMMV.
