I'll struggle to be subjective because I added them at the same time as the 5mm base plate. Sorry to say that I did this sheep fashion!!! Lol

Some Ebay sellers are just unbelievable - you wouldn't want to encourage anyone to buy your goods by making them look good or anything, would you?
Cheap amp (duster also required)

Quite agree,Originally Posted by DaveK
Hi You Two^,
I'd be interested to hear if you find any sonic (as opposed to cosmetic) benefits from using the wooden feet. I ask because I bought a few some time ago, tried 'em under amps and then speakers, heard no benefits in either location and they are now somewhere in the bottom of a drawer. Hope you have more success
Dave.
the only feet I've found of any use are sorbothane pads used to damp out vibration/noise from items with large transformers, all alloy or wood, etc., supports tried have been a waste of time, just so much 'snakeoil' if you ask me.

I picked up a mint pair of these about 6 months ago for £6 (yes, that's right SIX POUNDS) in one of the local charity shops (they had just arrived and had no price on them - the girl had to phone the manager, when he said £6 I was amazed - case of right place, right time - it was the first time I had ever been in there). Having had a pair of the smaller 760i's that sounded fab on the end of Audiolab amps, I knew I would not be disappointed. IMO they need something with a bit of grunt behind it to give of their best.
