Best current footers for preamps?


To isolate unit from any table/support vibration?
ptss
it all depends on the rest of your system.   I use Stillpoints, but even tomato cans make a difference.  Try everything 'till you find the magic for you.
I use an IKEA butcher block with Maple blocks to elevate my source and it made a nice audible difference for $15.
Symposium Acoustics " FAT PADZ ".

Get 3 for $189 and mount them under the pre-amp in accordance with the provided instructions. Unlike most footers FAT PADZadz also provides isolation  from the table or rack on which it is mounted.

Fat Padz by passes the Pre-amp's feet. The flat bottom of the Pre-amp rests on the flat top pf Fat Padz. It is not necessary to remove the preamp'sfeet.

It is available from the manufacturer or from the cable Company.

Freedom from vibration is an essential, but often underrated or neglected, element for realistic audio reproduction.

FAT PADZ is the way to go.

 


I have found that vibration control is a critical part of maximizing the performance of the system.  However, I think "YMMV" applies here more than in any other area.  The factors that will affect the performance of footers include: the composition and stability of your rack, the component chassis, the overall resolution of your system, the type of component (tube/ss), the microphony of the tubes, the type of floor in your listening room, the energy thrown into the room by your speakers, etc.   

There are reputable companies like Stillpoints, Nordost, and Symposium who make excellent products that clearly reduce vibrations and change the sound of your system.  Whether it's for the better only your ears can tell you.
