VPI-19 feet


My Mk III I love. Really have no choice, considering the investment; but when I look down at those stock feet, I wince. I have the unit sitting on a board salvaged from one of those sand box devices, on top of some squashed vibrapods.

Suggestions on improving the stock foot situation of the 19 appreciated.

TIA

I've decided to go with the brass feet from Audio Points.

The VPI-19's stock feet are a thread size of 10-32, a 3/16" screw size. The Audio Point model for this is the 1.0AP-F, $20 ea.

My 19 uses a pressed in steel T-nut for the feet. I'm giving thought to dusting those, and going with an upsized brass insert - at least a 1/4-20. That way, I'll have a larger screw, and brass-on-brass...
For every rig, there's an opinion.

Based on an extremely limited audition, the Audio Points were neither "HORRIBLE" nor were they spectacular. Things sounded pretty much the same. The designer had told me that it takes a week before they settle in to their respective proctective discs.

I'd suspect any changes/improvements will be of the subtle variety...
