My buddy Matt is doing a footer shootout. Gia are right there with some of the much more expensive ones. Its a fascinating shootout to say the least. Lot's of pretenders for sure.
@ctsooner , Would like to hear more bout the shootout when it is completed - like what other footers were used, price points, advantages, availability, etc. I have heard the GAIA and was pretty impressed with what they did. Amazing difference with and without, in that demo.
Please don't be mad as I don't want to offend anyone. The Nordost didn't make the first cut. I forget the reason's, but they just weren't close to the Iso Accoustic gear or any of the others. I've personally tried them and not liked them as much as maple footers I made in the shop with cut off's. For cheap, the wood footers are outstanding, but with the wrong gear will dull the top end and it can muddy the mids.
Using the 'rubber' footers is usually best for the less weighty, folded metal cabinets. Not always though. Since it's still an evolution, I can't share which ones are best per say as he has Symposium in now along with HRS Nimbus and is getting Magico pucks.
The solid metal cabinets and folded ones are just totally different beasts and may need different footers.
