In Reply to: Placement of footers! posted by Audiolover718 on June 9, 2015 at 19:28:07:
For optical digital readers like CD players and Blue ray players, I find that one foot under the spin motor works very well. The other two will have to be placed where necessary to balance the chassis. Generally one near the power transformer and one on the opposite side.
As in all tweaks, you need to play around as moving the foot even a /4 inch can make a noticeable difference.
For Amps and preamps, I prefer four feet. and not in the corners. If you think about it, the corners are the strongest structural part of the chassis. You will build up nodal vibration along the lengths of the sides.
However since most chassis are rectangular the opposing sides will generally have the same vibrational frequency. I place the feet on the sides asymmetrically, Two will have to bracket the power transformer, and the the other two to be placed where necessary to balance the component. In general, right against the lip is not preferred
Again experimentation is necessary to determine the precise location. A bit of effort spent will be well rewarded.
Oh yeah often times the fourth foot may barely make contact with the chassis. IT still has an effect.
FWIW and YMMV
