Get Stoned

BRF....my post was about putting the Terrastones under the SDS...not the rim drive motor (which I agree with you works best with compliant feet), and not under the turntable itself (which best works with Bearpaws...a solid foundation to the center of the earth...get rid of the compliant VPI minifeet)

What are Terrastones, and why would they make any difference vs some other footer of similar type?

Same question as was asked in the Omicron footers under the SDS thread: under what theory would and should any footers make any difference?

As for me, I do think footers can make a difference to sonics, especially as regards turntables, maybe not so much as regards something like an SDS, but I am just wondering specifically about the Terrastones. For example, there are dozens of variations on the original "tiptoe"; why would any one of them "sound" different from any other of them? Materials used in construction might make one different from another, but I would have to hear it to believe it. I gather that the Terrastone is not a conical type footer. (Guess I should Google the item.)

I replaced the stock VPI feet on my Classic with the Bearpaws and I do like the improvement so I would not question a further improvement with the Terrastones under a turntable. However, Terrastones under the SDS, which simply regulates the power supply, pose an entirely different reference. I'd like to hear any theory under which this makes sense.
