In my experience the Herbies tenderfeet provided sonic improvement but not nearly to the degree that the Symposium roller blocks or the Isoacoustic Orea isolators that I am now using. I’ve actually gone to using them both in conjunction with the Mapleshade 4” thick platforms and isoblocks since I already had them and I like their looks.....yeah, aesthetics while not the end all, do matter to me.
The roller blocks are open topped and I have no issues with components sliding off......and yes, I bump into them all the time while tinkering.
Geoff has me thinking that I should replace my isoblocks with springs to vertically isolate my maple platforms while the roller blocks or Isoacoustic footers provide horizontal isolation to the components. Maybe separating them like that isn’t recommended?
