TVAD,

DId you get to demo the MiG footers?

Yes. I bought them and demo'd them and kept them. I think they're effective.

They remind me of something one might find at Pier One Imports or Cost Plus that was made in Indonesia. I suspect the cost to produce them is pennies on the dollar, and therefore I'm left with the impression that I paid too much for an item that is relatively inexpensive to manufacture, import and package.

I've probably been too honest in my remarks. I'll now don my Nomex fire suit.

It's all that Research you are paying for.

I ordered 4 sets.

So my 12 MiG footes cost 32 cents to make and ship. See what you started?

I hope they make my 5K dac sound like it's 15K.

I can hear Bill F coming around the corner..........

IME, Stillpoints alone are a bit hard in the midrange. So I tried placing HRS Nimbus Couplers ($18 each retail?) underneathe them and the midrange harshness was gone.

Just something you might want to try if you have Stillpoints and want to tame it down a little. Maybe it will work for you?

StillPoints makes what they call an OEM foot because several manufacturers install it on their equipment. They have been suggesting that it would be available to the general public and would replace the old risers.

I managed to get some and like them very much. I presently am using them between my LSA1 Statements and the stands. Clarity was greatly improved. I have also tried SR MIGs and use them under some components. As they are slippery, I would not use them under my speakers, even were they recommended under speakers, which they are not.

I do agree with TVAD that tastes differ and YMMV. I have not had Black Diamond Racing cones for so long that I cannot recall what I thought about them.
