  I'm using inner tubes under my SA-11S2. Got air and stage. Cannot be happier!

  Typically, the sheet metal enclosure is tapped for the screws. Just unscrew the feet from the outside.

  I forgot to mention the stock foots can be unscrewed from the bottom quite easily, you do not have to open the top at all. I hope it helps.

  I have put 4 Herbie Tenderfoot under the SA15S1, I could not tell you if they make a huge difference, but I would say the change is subtle.
  I also replaced the stock IEC to a gold Furutech, and the stock female RCAs to gold Furutech and silver hookup. The change in sonic was more dramatic.
  Happy listening,
  Clarence

    I forgot to ask, what subtle changes did you note with the Tenderfeet, and what type of rack do you have, i.e., do you have a good rack that already isolates a lot of vibration?
    Thanks

      I have a solid maple rack designed by me and have it made by one of those solid wood furniture company nearby. It is a pretty good rack and rock solid. Many people believe maple wood has a nice tone. The silver hookup was the leftover from my speaker cable project. I recalled it is 24AWG wire from Homegrown.

    Hi Clarence
    Thanks so much for your helpful response. What type of silver wire did you use for hooking up the RCA's?
