Cary 303; Removing the feet

I'm thinking of experimenting with some isolation devices for use under my Cary 303/100. Does anyone know if the stock feet on the Cary can be removed? And, if so, is it easy to put them back on? I tried to unscrew them but they didn't seem to want to come off. I hate to rip them off if there is no way of putting them back. Also, anyone have any suggestions on what devices work best? I'm going to try some Vibrapods first and them maybe some BDR cones. I've also heard a maple board works well. Thanks.

Well ,I have done quite a bit of experimenting with both platforms and isolation feet.I have favoured the Feet Of Silence as the best overall without the usual trade offs.The sound if more musical life like,in all aspects ,air,space between instruments,sound stage dimensions ,timber,focus and resolution .Most products tend to tighten things adding focus but seem to channel the frequncies to some part of the spectrum were it sounds hard.I do not no why these are not increably more popular as they are miles ahead of many well known products.

Having added my comments on the best found feet,I would like to mention the absolute best valued tweek I have found.At the cost of eight cents ,"that's Canadian " great improvements can be made to open the sound and give more life like timber to instruments.Try placing pennies piled two high under the four feet ,you could start with one under each to hear the changes,benefits seem to diminish with three .I also had succes with the pennies under my amp feet while expensive cones were piled in a drawer.
This can also be done to decouple between shelves ,for example placing the pennies between a corion shelf and my Townsand audio stand shelf.
