    Have anyone replaced the original feet from Rotel components?

    I’ve recently replaced the RCD-1070 feet with Vibrapods isolators (http://www.vibrapod.com). Overall the sound opens out and gains focus, and gets less edgy. At least they work subjectively for me.

    Have anyone else experimented similar solutions, like Navcom and Sorbothane pucks, with good results?

    I've removed all the cheapy feet from my Rotel components. I did notice some difference, mainly with the RCD-1070. They helped out on a cheap Sony DVD/SACD player, as well. I used Vibrapods on everything but the RCD-1070, which has Audioquest isolation feet (WAY overpriced!).

      RCD1070 or RCD1072 ?
      by Stev
      Hi
      I have the option of buying a new RCD1070 for about 30% less than a RCD1072. Is there much of a difference between them ? Any problems with the earlier model i should be aware of ? The saleman says ther is little if any audible difference between the two models. Any thoughts would be appreciated....

      Vibrapods Rule!
      by stantheman2
      I've been toying with some means of vibration suppression under my Denon DVD-2200 for a while. Last week I broke down and popped for a set of Vibrapods - what was there to lose except a measly $24? I installed the 'pods four days ago and have been doing some critical listening (CDs exclusively) since....

      Reducing "feet height" for Parasound components?
      by Ricky
      I am running out of rack space and was wondering if I can replace the approx 1/2 inch feet in a couple of my parasound components. Any thoughts? Are replacement feet (ie, 1/8 or 1/4 inch) sold anywhere?

      Looking for input: Crossover /w adjustable A/B components
      by technodanvan
      I'm looking for some input on an idea that I wanted to bounce off the smart guys here.

      Whenever I read some of the ideas and opinions behind choices in crossover components and heck, even whole speaker and amplifier differences I'm exposed to descriptions that have no definition in my head....
