Amp on SRA Ohio XL.. still use additional footers?


My Ohio class XL for my Ayre V5Xe should be here in another week or two.

For you guys and gals that use SRA isoBases, do you still use cones/footers or do you find that they are not needed (don't make any difference or actually degrade sound)?

Thanks Fmpnd

I actually haven't talked with Kevin, I'd been emailing back and forth with Tim getting photos, specs and pricing on a Craz rack before deciding to start with the Ohio XL under the amp. It never even occurred to me to ask about footers till yesterday when I swapped all my polycrystal cones for Herbie's tenderfeet.

Which it's good if I don't really need them.... that means I can transfer them to my HT system. :)
Adhaney,

Tim is great, but talk to Kevin just for the experience. He will have a conniption fit if you use any other devices with an Ohio. You are in for a real treat when you get your Ayre on an Ohio set up for it.

Adhaney,

You made a good choice....I have 2 Ohio XL+ under my Monoblocks and they took away boominess and tighten up the sound (more focused). You will hear this difference when you play you music a little louder...

Also, you may have to reposition you speakers to optimise the sound staging, focus, etc....

Congratulations!!
IMO it doesn't preclude using other devices, such as cones or footers. Very often using multiple devices to control resonances may have cumulative effect.

You will not know unless you try.
