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,
The CM footers under the conditioner are keepers. Yes, they cost more than others but once you have them they will support and improve any future upgraded conditioners.

Now, with that being stated, I have owned both the combo you describe and I am sorry to say that the Niagara 7000 is in a different league from the Core products.
So, probably better to get the Niagara before spending money on the footers.

From what I've read, the Niagara is the new gold standard in PCs. I'm committed to my Core Power stack financially and for the DC blocker which I need in my system. I should add I'm happy with the results.
I'm going to give the Isoacoustic orea a try based on many positive comments on the forum. They can also support heavy weight.


Yeah @tweak1, I have three sets of MD Springs: two sets of the smaller, one set of the big ones. I got them for use where I don’t have room for the taller Townshend Audio Seismic Pods, which I have been using for a couple of years now: under two turntables, phono and line stages, power amp, and loudspeakers (if anyone has a set of the discontinued Model AA, I want ’em). I was touting the Pods for quite awhile here on Audiogon (do a search through older threads if you want), but most were secure in the "knowledge" that their BDR or DH Cones were the only way to go, so I gave up.

Both are good, the Townshend more sophisticated (and expensive). Plus, the Pods provide leveling, great for turntables and digital players. I bought my MD’s from Geoff Kait when he was listing them here on Audiogon, the Pods from John @ Townshend Audio (though I bought all mine when he was selling on ebay as Select-HiFi). John is related to Max Townshend, as is a real swell fella to deal with.
