Footers for Esoteric SA50 CD-SACD Player

Ditto the Cerapucs although Esoteric's footers are well designed and highly functional. Not your standard manufacturer's cookie cutter footer.

Sorbothane discs/pads don't make much difference. In fact with a number of Esoteric players and transports I've found sorbothane to dull the presentation.

YMMV

Dealer disclaimer.

I got great results with Stillpoints w/ the risers under my SA-10. I bought the Stillpoints first w/o the risers and they definitely "cleaned" the proverbial window. I was then skeptical about the risers making a noticeable difference, but for $100 I decided to roll the dice. One of the guys at Music Direct kept bending my ear about how much better the Stillpoints were with the addition of the risers, and he was right. The risers made a bigger diffence than going from no isolation to just the Stillpoints w/o risers IMHO. Some may think Stillpoints are just ok who have not tried them with the risers. I would consider them mandatory. YMMV.

I was at the CES and Synergistic Research was using Esoteric gear and had their footers called MIG's sounded great there was no doubt that they were much better that the the std. feet.

I use cerapucs under my X03SE.

I tried the Stillpoints w/risers first - didn't do it for me. The cerapucs were a substantial improvement over the Stillpoints, in my system.
