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?

lowrider57,
Thanks for the link. It is odd though that they suggest to place them under the components feet.

I didn't notice that. I have them under my preamp chassis. It uses an EI transformer and is very heavy on one corner. I spoke to the manufacturer and he said to place the EVP's so that all three are evenly compressed.
He asked me for a photo and suggested better positioning. So, I have 2 of them close to the transformer and one on the lightweight side of the pre.
I couldn't use traditional positioning but it really sounds great. 

My EquiCore is on the floor so I may need to use the foam covered EVP's so that they grip the PC.


lowrider57,
Sounds like you are on the right track in tweaking the best from your system.

Ozzy, how do you like the CMS 1.0 footers on the Niagara 7000 so far ? How about the X1 with CMS footers?
There was a huge upgrade with the CM footers under the X1. Highly recommended! It seems everything matters with the X1, even the type of cables used. It just keeps getting better.
There was also an improvement using them under the Nagara 7000 but not as much as under the X1.
