Footers Under Power Conditioners?

So much of this stuff is really on the edge.
Do we really hear a difference or is it just an expectation?

Don't know about you Bob but I totally hear it. See my system page for comments about a recent visitor Deborah who heard and described Cable Elevators so clearly. I've done demo's on stuff like this for people so many times over the years I've lost track. 

That said, there is one small group who either can't hear or do hear but instead of responding to what they hear obsesses on second-guessing what they heard to the point of borderline neuroticism: audiophiles. 

I am not kidding. There's two kinds of audiophiles: ones who hear really, really, amazingly well (and almost always can tell you all about exactly what they're hearing) and those who can't. At all. Usually the second (and much bigger) group is really, really good at rationalizing away why they can't hear what everyone else can.  

Spoiler alert: expectation bias is one of their favorite tropes.

I think it should be a positive tweak, albeit subtle.
I recall reading how a Core Power Equi+Core would be improved by using better footers-

I'm using Herbies Tenderfeet under an Equi=Core 1800 and it's an improvement over stock. It is subtle and I think I can do better than the Herbies.

Thanks for the replies. I have tried various footers under the Niagara, some seemed to do nothing and some actually tilted the frequency spectrum up.

So was wonderin' about the Critical Mass footers.

Nobsound springs will open up the ability to tune the sound. With more springs they are stiff and the sound will tilt towards the top end and detail. With fewer springs they compress more and the sound shifts to greater warmth and bottom end. Besides changing springs you can also add a little weight to fine tune the sound. Got that tip from resident Tweak Master mahgister.

What the.... Critical Mass Footers- $240 EACH! lol! That's $720 to $960 a set! Is that right???! Anyone even thinking about spending that kind of money should definitely try a set of Nobsound springs. Not because I expect them to be better. But to see how shockingly close you can get for $30 per set of FOUR! 

For CMS money you could get enough Nobsound springs to do your whole system.
