I have seen it. Thank you.

I don't think he had more than one set under each piece of equipment.Please read the instructions ONLY 4 feet are to be placed under a component. PERIOD! No more. Again you are overthinking and misthinking a very simple thing.
One set of 4. No more (not a set of 3 but a set of 4)
No plywood
If you got good results with the 0.8, you will get better results with a set of 1.0 and even better with a set of 1.5's
I'm sorry to correct you like this but what you are suggesting is just wrong with respect to the mode of acton of these CS 2 feet

One last thing.
if a shim is needed it is placed UNDER the foot rather than on top of the foot as the top of the foot must be in complete contact with the underside of the component above. The shim should be placed under the silver button at the bottom of the footer
The hyperbole po-leece are keen to interview you Marc and perform thorough invasive body searches for no reason except your continued crimes against the vernacular without any regards to the particular. Remember in audio it goes best, bester and most bestial.PR13, the forum should be remamed:
"Whats Best And What Could Make Gear Even Bester".
Best and bestest of all means 1000 different things to 1000 different audiophiles.
So you pay 24k euros for the basic version of the Extreme only to have to spend more on isolators of various descriptions, a platform base (not particulalry expensive but still another 400 euros). Where does this end? For 24k I expect the thing to be perfect out the box, the best it can be. It's an insult, as good as the Extreme potentially is.

Your statement could apply to any single piece of gear, electronics, sources, speakers etc. Btw, if you heard the Extreme with NOTHING added it still would do it's thing.....whch is quite Extreme
Steve, I don't think using a switch designed for audio is a fou-frou. His argument then could be to take a Router (the louder, the better) and then with a good power cable a quality USB cable and good feet, the noise of the ethernet line will disappear.
The shims must be under the foot or the foot will not function properly.
as Stated shins are often required if the underside of the component is not flat
finally it is important that the CS footer lifts the stock footer off the underlying shelf. Believe it or not I had one client who put them under the stock feet and another who used CS feet under his Stillpoints
my Gen 2 USB on the extreme also won’t handshake with my Lampi Pacific so I am using a Gen 1 USB port which is a shame. Didn’t work with an Intona or Goebel USB cable. The gen 2 port does, however, work with a Nagra Classic Dac...Has anyone been able to get the Monoprice SlimRun Fiber cable to work with the main USB output of the Extreme (3.1 Gen 2)? The fiber cable is only rated for Gen1 and I have not been able to establish a handshake with the DCS Bartok. Tried 3 different USB cables, two power supplies, and 2 different fiber cables.
Finally tried plugging into one of the Gen1 USB outputs and it worked right away. I know the fiber cable is only rated for 5gpbs, and not the 10gpbs that Gen 2 is rated for, but I thought it still would have worked at the 5 gbps rate.
@romaz is using the JCAT Femto USB card which is probably a Gen1 USB output? Not sure.
I remember reading that the Gen2 USB output is the best USB output on the Extreme, so I rather not give that up.

Your Pacific is a bit of an oddball, afaik it's the only one refusing to handshake with the USB 3.1gen2 controller assuming the use of a proper impedance controlled USB cable (the intona sure qualifies). Furthermore it uses an Amanero USB interface which is also utilised in the Nagra Classic you mentioned.
Although the Extreme is the first to use a USB3.1gen2 controller, again afaik, it's highly likely other future streamers will be using this interface, with USB 4.0 lurking on the horizon.
Although these controllers are backwards compatible with, and do scale down to, USB 2.0 speeds, they require proper impedance control meeting USB specifications. The lower speed USB1.1/2.0/3.0 interfaces are more tolerant to severe deviations from the USB specification.
