Also, have Herbie's Tenderfoot pads between my monitor speakers and the stand and they do a much better job then the elastomer thingies (an audiophile term) that came with the speakers.

And, thanks for the reminder. Just ordered a set of Herbie's Booties to go under my phono-preamp.
Yeah, the Tenderfoot "footers" actually work quite well. And they're cheap at only 16 bucks/ea. I was pleasantly surprised at the improvement they brought when I put them under my EtherREGEN.

The cork and rubber pads are designed for MUCH heavier loads, essentially washers and dryers and appliances of similar weight. They are too stiff to be effective in audio applications.
