Hockey pucks consist of vulcanized rubber. In the audiophile world, rubber is not generally known for being a desirable footer material. The vulcanizing process results in a rubber material with increased rigidity and durability, as well as other changes in the mechanical and electrical properties. Many here report using hockey puck footers under their gear and speakers. Therefore, does the vulcanizing process result in a rubber material that has damping and support properties which are better than those of unvulcanized rubber footers?
