I have a Maple QSD rack that has small spike/cup for each shelf level which are solid maple legs and composite shelves. At the bottom are floor spikes and for ten years I have let them sit directly on slate! There is a 15' x 3' area of slate along the wall where the rack is as it sits in front of a pair of 8ft tall sliding glass doors. (I have very thick drapes in front of them)
So for all these years I have had those bare spikes on the slate. I finally temembered that I wanted to try something there to both protect things and see if I could improve sound. My gear on the rack weighs probably 200-250 pounds. I found a solutiion at Herbes Audio Lab. I installed them last night using a one foot piece of a 4X4 and a 2X6 as a jack and these things really work.
Of course they protected the floor but they realy improved the image and bass response. LF didn't have more SPL to speak of perhaps a bit but it was better clarity and resolution. There was an increase in mid bass. I could easily spot it on parts of the three reference recordings I used. A lot of my recent tweaks haqve improved the image/soundstage and this did too. On Zap Mamas "A Ma Zone" one thrack has five vocalists in five different positions and they were wider apart and more easily audible. I'm glad I tried out these footers.
