Footers Under Power Conditioners?


I own a Audioquest 7000 and I am wonderin’ if a set of Critical Mass footers would provide any benefit?
They are a little expensive to just try, so, has anyone had experience with this combination?

millercarbon,

I actually did try a set of springs under the Niagara it didn’t seem to help.
BTW, the Critical Mass 1.0 footers cost twice what you have stated.

lowrider57,

The Audioquest Niagara is sitting at the bottom of a Stand Design rack. This rack not only has spikes at the floor (that I have Herbies footers underneath) but there are also spikes underneath each shelve.

Yes, I have the Iso-Acoustics GAI 1's underneath my speakers.

The Critical Mass footers really are amazing though, I have them underneath my Lumin X1 and Carver M350 tube amps. They are expensive, but they really do perform well in these places.
Just not sure about under a power conditioner.

I also tried Stillpoints Ultra SS’s underneath the Niagara, I actually preferred the Niagara’s installed feet better.
So, this adds to my question, will the Critical Mass footers be an improvement underneath the Niagara?

Ozzy, thanks for your replies. This is really a case of YMMV.

In my case, the EquiCore has a massive toroid, so I'm thinking I should treat it like a SS amp.
Don't know about the Niagara.
lowrider57,
The Niagara 7000 has some massive transformers, that is why it weighs 90lbs!
