I have been using myrtle wood blocks under Ayre amplifier on a Taoc AS-1 stand and recently replaced the wood blocks with Taoc's footers, TITE-46PIN ("pin and plate insulators", they call it). Significant change indeed, as if an invisible hand pushed all the musicians to their proper positions resulting in a wide deep soundstange and great focus. These footers cost < $50 for a set of 3 if bought directly from Japanese dealers and are made of cast iron. Not expensive compared to Harmonix and similar but indeed very effective. Don't know how much American and European dealers charge for Taoc footers.
Since there have been periodic questions on myrtle wood blocks in the asylum, just sharing my experience.
Thanks.
