Baby Bootie

Using these in a yet another, new way!

In this particular application, I used 4 for a table-top dustcover from Audio Shield, and the only definitive way to support and protect a dustcover whether on a table or the turntable itself. Having a heavy dustcover sliding around the rack or a platform is very dangerous to the gear and this solves it completely. I have also used these to great effect on a VPI turntable with their hinged dustcover and they absolutely damp out the need to take off the dustcover while playing an LP. Really. Dust-free LP playback is a reality. Combine with Fat Dots for additional dustcover clearance with extra tall tonearms as well. They are still a bit pricey, but we are audiophiles.

Work well, I ended up doing a second order of Tenderfoot for three components and the Fat Dots for a few others.

I’m satisfied.

I upgraded my system with a new amplifier. It was too big for the isolation platform I had been using. On an Internet forum on which someone suggested using your tenderfeet. Since they were competitively priced, I figured I had little to lose and pulled the trigger. They arrived, I placed them under the amp, and experienced a dramatic improvement. So I ordered the booties. I needed something small to isolate a power supply and a couple of Internet switches. The improvement wasn’t as dramatic, but they worked. Again, the booties are not as dramatic an improvement as the Tenderfeet, but they offer a definite improvement over the quality of sound I experienced without them at a price low enough for me to keep them.
