yogi, and a Stereophile recommendation. The price seems right during a COVID economy. Anybody ever try the Cardas Myrtlewood or other types of wood? 
Old FM Tuners....O.K., Great or Folklore...

I’m also currently using Herbie’s steel cones with platinum disks under my Quad 2905 ESL’s and can say that doing so was a giant step up from the stock feet. The cost for most speaker isolation feet are crazy numbers.
