I discovered that I can turn cone feet after doing some for the chassis i did for mike, and some for the g99 plinth I'm currently building. Tbh im not sure what to call them as they won't isolate, they will ground energy out of a structure, though they seem to be called this on ebay et al
I can do them in different woods to different sizes
Here's one (er 3 as a matter of fact) I made earlier
Given the lathe i have the minimum width will be about 18mm
Give me a shout if anyone wants some turning
Cheers ant

I wonder what they actually do...surmise and guesswork - why not let the device just lie flat...who knows.
Seismic nippLes er sound good to me and I likes the look.

He's put some on my plinth. Do look the biz if nothing else. Can't think of anything else they look like so could become Ant's recognisable trademarks.

In my case provide a gap for cooling air to get underneath, then up into the amp's innards.andrew Ivimey wrote:I wonder what they actually do...surmise and guesswork - why not let the device just lie flat...who knows.
Was going to use rubber feet but these are more classy.

Couldn't disagree with their use there Mike.
And yes,IMHO, they look good too.
