Isolation Feet Upgrade

After many footer iterations, I found the Critical Mass footers to be the best under my equipment. They have a strange break in as they adjust to the weight of the component.

Price point may be a factor, but it will be a good investment towards the end of the search for footers.

This US website seems to stock them.

I appreciate everyone’s input and will look into it. Thanks.

Those theaudionerd pads are the original BR Pads from a few years ago.

Have been updated and improved since then.

@goofyfoot - For years I believed that the best way to isolate my components was to install some type of absorbing material, like sorbothane, between the shelf and the component.

Then on one thread I read about cone feet. I started with various sized wooden cones and to my amazement the sound improved

• improved clarity and details
• improved bass textures
• the theory is that it "drains" unwanted vibrations from the component

I then read a post that one member recommended brass/bronze feet

And on a different forum about how to isolate components using a "sandwich" of materials under each component

For each component I now use

• bronze feet of different sizes
  • these were custom made at a machine shop in my area, so the end product was quite reasonbly priced
• sitting on a granite tile
• with foam drawer liner between the shelf and the tile
• here’s a link detialing the approach on my web site
  • My Isolation approach

The result is stunning details, exmpansive imaging and excellent bass performance and textures
