Footers under my speakers double the perceived value of my speakers!

limomangus,
They're not maple footers, they're brass.

"Scary how few audiophiles can arrive at correct conclusions regarding such things. The improvement is not due to vibration control, but to physically elevating the speaker. The speaker will sound far better with raised soundstage. Just one reason why smallish speakers are inferior. Tweak, tuning sellers certainly have your number, and the isolation authorities show their ignorance.   :)
If people are so easily led to false conclusions on this, it's no wonder they pursue insipid methods of system building."   

I am truly shocked by that comment Douglas. Can it be that with all of the hi end gear that you audition and are exposed to that you actually believe that these devices do no more than elevate speakers? If you have tried them and believe that; I no longer trust your judgement at all. If you haven't, you need to try them as soon as possible. Call it what you want, isolation, draining...whatever; but these devices have a dramatic effect on loudspeaker performance, and it is undeniable. 

Douglas,
I have carefully read all of the above, and I have to conclude that you are much less informed than I had previously thought. The OP is correct from my experience with speakers and DACs. Good isolation/draining devices can make sonic improvements that are far from "trivial".  
I will freely admit that my system would benefit from room treatment which I have not done because I don't want to take down pictures, as well as the expense and experimentation needed; but I will not deny the benefit of doing so as many members have experienced and reported here. 
I don't respect you for the blind spot you have shown here, and I also think your tone is a bit pompous.

squeak,
Bless you! I could not have said it better! Mr. Schroeder still mistakenly sets these support devices very low on the scale of importance to the final sound of a well tuned system. Where have you been Douglas? 
1 or 2 percent? No, far more than that! A Sistrum platform changed the sound of my speakers, and it wasn't because of the height.
Your measured results comment was nonsense Douglas. Perception is one thing and not all perceptions can be verified by measurement; and if they could, you'd be out of a job!  

Well Doug, no one can say that you don't admit your shortcomings. You just laid them all out in plain language.Thanks.

"Is "insipid" the word of the day?"

Apparently. And it was a misuse at that.  

Douglas,
It is Robert's (Starsound) products that I was specifically referring to as I use them, and I will be very surprised if you try them and don't hear a dramatic (yes, I did say dramatic) difference for the better. I look forward to the test.
