RE: Finite Elements Cerabase Slimline Precision Audio Footers are Recommended
My Audiogon friend purchased three Finite Elements Cerabase Slimline Precision Audio Footers from Aaudio Imports at RMAF for his Aurender N10, really liked them and recommended I purchase the Cerabase Slimline Precsion Audio Footers for my Aurender N10 Music Server.
I researched the Cerabase Slimline Precision Audio Footers, and several other brands (Grand Prix Apex, Stillpoints), and then contacted Brian at Aaudio Imports for additional information. I asked him several questions and he was very consultative and helpful.
I installed 4 of these footers and noticed my music did sound slightly clearer and with less noise. I still think it is "voodoo magic" but my friend says “No magic, it is just solid physics. The Ceraballs drains any unwanted vibrations from inside the unit and cancel any external vibrations from entering into unit”. Their web site states “The Cera technology is based on direct coupling for effective transfer of sound interfering resonance. fast resonance transfer is provided by extreme hard high-tech ceramic balls. Combined with precision machined materials like stainless steel or aluminum, the optimum balance between damping and deflection is achieved. The resulting vacuum effect draws off unwanted resonance directly where it evolves".
I placed 4 footers next to the standard feet on my Aurender N10. Brian said “4 footers should be better since you have more isolation”. I know everyone's situation is different but I do recommend you check out the Finite Elements Cerabase Slimline Precision Audio Footers for fine tuning your audio system. In general, focus and solidity of image were improved.
