Personally, I think that too many audiophiles knee jerk into believing they must put something under their components to isolate them from whatever, In the case of my Ear Acute, I preferred the sound of it sitting on it's own feet to any isolation device(s) I tried, including the Reimyo wooden gizmos, which were quite expensive. I think, in general, footers can "clean up" the sound, which is great if you are experiencing a tubby bottom end to where baritone voices are too chesty or whatever. But from everything I read around here, far more people believe their systems are too lean and harsh, rather than too full and warm. So all I'm saying is, try it on it's own feet and don't be afraid to say you prefer the sound to that of it sitting on cones or pillows or whatever. Only your ears can judge this. Trust them, at least a little bit.
