Footers Under Power Conditioners?

Well, I did try the springs that Geoff sells, Stillpoints Ultra SS along with a few others I had. Best results was with the footers that are attached to the Niagara.

I found the perfect solution for my needs. Before buying anything else, I experimented with what I had on hand and that included some really old Audioquest squishy footers, the kind you can literally ball up in your hand using a tight grip. You know, the ones that leave that messy residue wherever they're placed.

It wasn't half as bad as the Herbie's extra firm squares but still it fogged the highs and surrounding air. Next up were some Les Davis constricted layer damping pads, which are about as thin as two sheets of paper. Using three at each end of the Niagara 1200 (the pads are wide enough to support the width of the 1200) brought about a wonderful increase of body in everything, especial the bass. Not a hint of texture or detail was lost at the expense of some really thickened bass which was very tactile in feel.

Vocals took on a level of realism making it all the more corporal. Think mouth, throat and chest. Highs were more fleshed out as well but I thought it could use a bit more air and lightness. Taking one pad out on each end was the ticket. No loss of body with an increase in air, decay and extension.

It seems the light weight of the 1200 (just over 15 lbs) didn't take to the type of footer that a much heavier item would need. I had a similar experience with my OPPO 103 when I tried the Isoacoustic Oreas as footers: it just killed the highs and bloated the mids and bass. Going with the Les Davis pads under the footers solved that as well, and the OPPO only weighs about 11lbs., so there's something relatable here.

All the best,

Nonoise, can I ask what dealer you got the Les Davis from?

I wonder if a meteor passing a million miles away could change the earth’s magnetic field to a point where it may affect the output of my MM cartridge.....

@facten ,
 I got them from someone stateside who no longer sells them. What I did find was Bespoke Audio Group: bespokeaudiogroup@outlook.com
You used to be able to get them on amazon. I don't think they'll sell direct as long as there's someone stateside representing their product.

It looks like he's been very busy since when I got my 3D2, which were circular and not the squares he now sells. He's got three more products as well.

All the best,
