Footers under my speakers double the perceived value of my speakers!

You can’t reach upper level sound by tuning and tweaking average gear

What in the world means "average" gear?

You can turn any relatively good low cost system in the 7 th marvel of the world by knowing how to embed it....If this average cost gear is relatively good for sure....

This is my experience...

What relatively good means?

Amplifier design is mature for the last 50 years....

I own a Sansui Au-7700.... An another Sansui of the alpha series.... They are certainly "averagely" good....They are among the best design Sansui ever created...

My dac cost few hundred new and is certainly good if we read all reviews of customers.... Average then but very good....(Starting Point System dac NOS)...The secret is the use of a good electronic known chip TDA 1543 philips but mainly his minimalistic design with low noise (internal battery powered)...

My speakers are average, paid 50 bucks used, but they are the best of British Mission speakers ever designed....Mission Cyrus 781....Average but certainly very good...( The bass is so good i never use the Kreisel sub i bought)

Controlling and tweaking the 3 embeddings dimensions where this audio system is immerged transform it like" night and day"....

YES, I reach upper level sound with average good gear....At worst slightly under it..... But a night and day transformation is more than an upgrade of dac or amplifier, or speakers in the same price rung of the scale except by paying for another totally different level of gear....

My gear total is under 500 dollars 2 pieces vintage and bought used....To crush it really will cost me 16,000 dollars with a really improved electronical design and better speakers...i know already what to buy to replace it...But 500 bucks versus 16,000 is staggering difference....

Thanks to the controls of their 3 embeddings, i am not in the frustrated urge for upgrade..... :)

I already own holographic, natural timbre, details and clear imaging audio system in nearfield position or in regular distance.... What more can i ask for ?

I dont listen no more to my 6 headphones, because they are not on par with my speakers now...." years ago with the same gear it was the opposite....Night and day ....

The truth and explanation is simple, most reviewers in all magazine, pay more attention to electronical new design than  to the precise ways to embed an audio system....

Guess what is more important? The last new variation of classical known electronic design or the 3 embeddings?

The right answer will give to you Hi-Fi for peanuts....The wrong answer will push you to upgrade without end at high cost to finance private electronical design reasearch....

Whenever I tried different footers under my stand mount monitors I always adjusted my listening position to eliminate the effects of height differences since it was so easy to do. Sitting more upright or slumping down is kids stuff. 

The differences I heard were solely from the different footers used as the results were the same regardless of ear listening height. I can't believe what I read. Is "insipid" the word of the day?

All the best,

I am using Townshend seismic podiums.  I have used the following: 1) nothing 2) spikes through carpet to sub floor 3) spikes on top of 1 1/2 inch flagstone 3) herbies gliders.  By far the best has been the Townshend podiums.  If you have smaller speakers the seismic bars would also work since the leveling is done underneath the spring assembly where the podium is adjusted from the top.

I experience MAJOR sonic differences with footers, of all types, under speakers, and, the equipment. I also experience benefits with break in times, generally, the longer the better. I do not need a reviewer, or anyone, to tell me what I hear, or why I am hearing it. I trust my own ears....always have. Enjoy !
