Suggestions for Feet


Awhile back, Tom (TWL) suggested that I try using different feet on the Well Tempered Classic (an unsuspended table) other than the stock foam-over-a-bolt arrangement. The space between the bottom of the deck and the top of the shelf is about 3/4", which will need to be more or less maintained. Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks- Jim

I tried a new footer the other day and had very interesting results. The footer is the "GROGGY" coaster from Ikea it appears to be a plate of stainless steel with a micro-thin but quite firm foam underneath. I took two of the coasters and placed them together so that the thin foam was in-between the two steel plates. Kind of like a mini symposium shelf. Then placed the coasters under each foot. The results were very good in my application. Most footers I've tried alter the sound too much - or do nothing at all. These seem to be just right.

Oddly enough, they appear to provide the benefits of direct coupling along with the benefits of decoupling.

I think they cost 6.00 for a set of 6 coasters. You'll need two coasters for each foot.
