Walker Valid Points or Mapleshade Footers for preamp?

Glory, I don't know what you mean by "having to deal with the lead" It is coated.

The Walkers with their pucks are far superior to the Mapleshades, but I would agree that there are far better devices. The Halcyonics is so superior as to make everything else sound broken. Second best is the Acapella Silencio base.

Tbg,

Sorry to say coated or not I don't want it in my house. So to understand this is to see me as strange maybe but never the less safe.

I do agree with you that thay are junk comparied to the products we are using.

Superior is the WVP? One into coated lead and one into maple,wow you have good ears my man.

Tbg,

Do you mean to tell me that the WVP is so superior that you could A/B both MSF & WVP and pick out the WVP every time under a tube preamp?

Guys, which MSF brass footer exactly are you talking about? There are several different versions.

Cmk,

I had the best and newest one's MS made going into 4" of maple.

After hearing the HRS M3 I knew both were rubish. Walker makes some great stuff but ........

One would have to guess which one sounds better, MSF or WVP, if you A/B them.
