On that paragon of objective thought, Positive Feedback, they had a recent review of some component footers. Towards the start of the review, the reviewer states:
Enter the RevOpod Damping Foot, a new equipment support product that came to my attention while reading a review by Robert Harley in TAS (Issue 312) of the Wadax Reference DAC. What impressed me was how Robert described the effectiveness of the RevOpods for improving the performance of this state-of-the-art $145,000 (Wadax Reference DAC) component,
So what that other paragon of objective thought, Robert Harley, is saying is that the developers of a "state of the art" DAC that costs $145k did such a bad job that it required a 3rd party tweak to lift even more veils? Surely a DAC the size of an Sherman Tank should be immune to any type of external interference, be it electrical or mechanical. And it also shows how Mr. Harley's megabuck equipment stand is also not up to task.
Of course the Positive Feedback reviewer raved about the footers, to quote:
The RevOpod Damping Footers appeared to empower the supported equipment to reach a welcomed level of unrestrained performance and gave it freedom to spring to life in a delightfully spirited manner. Essential subtleties and germane minutiae were liberated and emerged free flowing, refreshing and engaging.
The gift of the gab is strong in this one.
The footers are of course a bargain at $1400 for a set of four but of course you will need a set for each component so thats probably a minimum of $8k for our well heeled audiophile subjectivists.
