    After market footers for MSB

    Since the MSB DACs (mine is the Discrete) have removable screw spike / feet, has anyone experimented with after market vibration isolation feet? Things like Stillpoints, Finite Elemente, etc.?

    Thanks Mike, I was looking at that. Do they come with M6x1 threads though? Website is very vague on this.

    No, you don’t want to thread them in. Put them under the chassis. Buy the ones that are tall enough to lift the component off its feet. For Discrete, 0.8 is perfect.

    I'm with Mike on this. I own three sets of CS2. Patience is required for the first month, after that they will come good.
