Marc, thank you v much for being a beta tester. You confirmed my suspicions re platform shelf interface. One remark though - it is not nylon, mylord, it's all teflon
Cheers

Have been testing four footers variations for the Stacore Advanced platform.
V easy to install - component off, deflate Stacore, turn it on it’s side, unscrew old footers, screw on new ones, set up.
1- stock plastic footers, sound fine, this is the one that came as standard w the platform, and so no complaint
2- soft plastic footers, no good, a loss of focus, bass not tight
3- hard Teflon footers, more like it! The opposite of the soft footers, bass tight and tuneful again, treble more extended
4- metal footers, now we’re motoring, a real upstick in liveliness, bass extra vibrant, treble shimmering
5- metal footers w hard Teflon washers, I wasn’t prepared for this - bass bloat is practically gone, smear around tom toms, tympani, kick drums, plucked bass notes is non existent, indeed bass isn’t present until it’s there, and then there is no lack of extension, and treble energy/articulation/shimmer is abundant and never ending.

This is not the kind of phenomenon I’ve heard w other isolation devices where it’s all leading edge dominant or upper bass resonance band enhancing. It’s a natural extension of what the Stacores have done so much in my system, just pulling together more clarity in the musical message.
I find it totally fascinating that with 95kg of slate mass loading and hydraulic isolation, such a difference in presentation can be had with four 2.5cm diameter S crew-in footers, each one only 1mm thick.
The Stacores have really been a revelation in my system, these footers are now taking neutrality to a whole other level.
