Set of 3 brass footers from Mapleshade Audio. They drain out so much internal energy from components.

Our very best sounding footers all incorporate a three-point top, our unique cure for the major weakness of conventional cone-point design: the flat top. Mapleshade’s three-point contact eliminates the micro-rattles between a flat top footer and the imperfectly flat bottom of the supported equipment -- and the point contact transfers vibration much more cleanly and completely. Adding the three points on top yields surprisingly more detail everywhere—from the deep thunder of the tympani to the silvery treble of triangles.

The Micropoint Heavyfoot is our very best sounding 2" diameter footer—but only for gear with flat metal or plastic bottoms. We discovered that the smaller the point’s inherent resonances, the sweeter the treble. So, to take advantage of the many components with hard flat bottom surfaces, I lowered the Micropoint’s point height to 1/15th that of the original Triplepoint (which was designed with points ¼" high to support both wood and hard surfaces). That radical lowering reduces the resonance amplitudes by 225 times! Listening confirms the very audible improvements. Blacker backgrounds improve ambience and sustain. Transients, especially bass transients, are cleaner and more powerful. Treble and midrange are sweeter, less smeared, yielding more beautiful harmonic detail.

We recommend using unattached footers in sets of three to avoid shimming. Using four may require shimming the height of one footer to compensate for slight unevenness of the surface below and there’s no sonic advantage to using four. Please call 1-888-236-2753 to order footers a la carte.

There is some discoloration from age....approximately 2 years. This obviously has nothing to do with performance.

Questions for the seller
It appears from the pic the footer located center rear may have a blunted point. It is hard to detect. Please confirm the machined point is not blunted or deformed.
Nope. I confirmed it is just like the others. I see what you mean from the pic but I think the discoloration is throwing you off visually. Luka
