@lowrider57 I tried Myrtle wood blocks and there was a major improvement over Herbies, faster attack, open soundstage, but the highs became harsh. Looking for an inexpensive tweak.
Before spending more money, try putting a thin piece of sued leather, just slightly larger than the block, between the bottom of the Myrtle wood blocks and your component. It will not hinder the performance of the blocks but will eliminate any micro vibrations that can build between the component and the coupler, which sometimes shows up as a sibilance in the highs.
It's a cheep experiment, I think will solve your problem without negating your otherwise good results.....Jim
