What Feet - Squishy, hard or other ?

[MikeMusic]

There are plenty of feet for our kit, but do we need them or is there something else required when sitting on Mana and similar supports and racks ?

My Technics has soft squishy feet and sits on a spiked glass top, spiked eventually into the floor.
The LP12 has similar
Most of my kit had rubber like feet, but are they the best for Mana and the like ?
I've tried some wooden cones and didn't think there was much difference if any.
Not keen as the kit can slide around, maybe even get knocked off. This would be a 'bad thing'

So

They all make a teensy, weensy change to the sound. Different combinations under various bits of kit sound a tiny bit different. It's up to you to try and hear or don't..

hi mike, i have just put some wooden cones under my sony bdp that i thought id thrown. bass seems to have tightened up a bit,not amazingly so but noticable. i had forgotten about the sliding about , what a pain

[MCRU]

oak cone feet, delrin feet, rdc feet, soborthane feet, squash balls, squash balls sat on ceramic footers, stillpoints, squash balls inside glass tea lighters, they have all had a try (one in the last 3 days)

I have to say the best in my system is delrin, don't know why but just is (delrin is acetal, a thermoplastic) in cone form, oh and the silicone circle thingys that someone else on AOS was selling are quite good too but not as good as delrin.

I will post you a selection to "play" with when I get chance Mike. It's the least I can do after you saved me yet again with your lightning fast turnaround printing my brochures!

No huge revelation to be expected then ?

There is the ability to screw them in of course, but it seems we have to use 3 and I don't fancy drilling any cases

Thanks David
We do that for everyone !
Not that I'm saying that you're not special oh no

Subsidiary, linked question

Could one use magic feet on almost any surface, so doing away with racks ?
(Mana heresy !)

[twickers]

You could use super glue to stick 'em on

I bottled out of it and used double sided carpet tape instead in case i changed my mind.

Did they make any difference to the sound ?
