    Footers for VSA Endeavor E-3 Mk IIs?

    Yes they are on the outriggers - easy to take off the stock cones and thread in the LS footers as they are the same thread size.

    Hi Don - I think you’re right wrt to similarity in tonearms on the Pioneer TTs. I should note that I don’t have any damping fluid in the P10 tonearm.

    The SP10MK3 is highly resolving and a bit on the analytic side, but I would not call it light sounding. In fact this table extracts rich mids and some of the deepest, most well articulated bass I’ve heard from an analog front end. My DD tables don’t impose as much of a harmonic texture as the...

    Footers for VSA Endeavor E-3 Mk IIs?

    I have the LS 0.8 footers under a pair of E3 MKII speakers (I carry them as a VSA dealer). Previously had the GAIA I footers under these and the LS 0.8 are a major step up from the GAIA’s - improved transient response and decay, clarity in the mids (vocals especially), and articulation in the...

    I have a P10 Exclusive and also an SP10MK3 (with an Artisan Fidelity plinth) - the P10 is overall a very nice sounding TT imo. Does everything quite well though not as resolving as the SP10MK3 and not as much extension in the bass. Hard to make a direct comparison as I have different tonearms...

    Center Stage 2

    Pretty sure they were CS2. As I recall you said you did observe a change under your phono stage but that the position of some instruments weren't right? Don't recall your specific feedback so excuse me if I have it wrong. Cheers, Joe

    I like mine best at 100? and using an Ypsilon MC-16L SUT with my Blue Lace Platinum.

    Introducing Center Stage 2M

    Hi Russ - I think you will be pleasantly surprised at what the LS footers do under your Ultra 9s if what I experienced with them under my Ultra 55s is any indication. Cheers, Joe

    Center Stage2 "LS" Series Loudspeaker Feet

    Interesting - does that work better than putting them directly under the monitors?

    Center Stage2 "LS" Series Loudspeaker Feet

    He's using then under his floor stands - as in between the stands and the floor, or under his speakers sitting on the floor stands?

    Koetsu

    Yes, I got that - I have the Urushi Black too. There is a “plain” black without the gold speckles but I’ve never heard that one.

    Koetsu

    Congratulations on your first Koetsu! The Urushi Black was also my first Koetsu many years back and though I’ve moved on to a Platinum Blue Lace, the Black still holds a special place in my collection - it’s not the most resolving but it has such a great warm, lush tonal balance that I really...

    Center Stage2 LS 1.5 Speaker Footer Experience

    Hi Damon - thanks for adding your observations to the discussion. You brought up something that I neglected to mention - with the LS 1.5 footers, low level performance is enhanced and makes listening at night, when I have to reduce the volume much more enjoyable. I attribute this to the lower...

    Center Stage2 LS 1.5 Speaker Footer Experience

    Hi Steve - that might well explain the difference in settling time.

    Center Stage2 LS 1.5 Speaker Footer Experience

    That’s a good question - with the original CS2 footers, we believe that playing the gear speeds up the settling time. I only noted the playback time for reference as I’m not sure that we know enough about the settling characteristics of these speaker footers to say one way or another if it...
