novel tone controls
Was invited last week to assess some new equipment feet from Synergistic Research. Called MiG footers and looking like Acoustic Art Satellites, they are placed under hardware as 2 facing up, 1 facing down arrangement. That they alter the sound is undeniable to me, whether it's an improvement is clearly system dependent.
However, this led me to further experiment with my own Stillpoints under the cdp. Having inverted one of them I was gobsmacked by the change in sound, mostly for the better. The bummer is that one can clearly hear changes when they are moved around under the equipment, usually related to the 'weight' of the sound.
I wondered if many folk bother to shift around OEM feet to find a preferred position as to what sounds 'right' for them. I can honestly say that differences are as great as a change of hardware in some cases.
Then of course you may prefer a different arrangement for each disc.
Strange - I can see a bloke with a white coat coming up the path....
