My results are with actual music and in my set up. I tried to simulate my actual listening habits in my environment.

In any case, all that I am suggesting is that folks do the test on their own system and check what (if anything) they need.

I personally much rather spend $1.50 if that does it for me instead of $45, or nothing at all if I find no vibration problem.
Comparison of stocky Gumby feet (green trace), Herbie'sTenderfoot (red trace), Diversitech pads (purple trace), and EVPs (blue trace) using my vibration analysis methodology. Each footer was resting on the top of my audio rack's top shelf under my Schiit Gumby DAC. The Diversitech vibration imparted is same as the Herbie's Tenderfoot, but shifted up notably in frequency compared to the Herbie's Tenderfoot.

The EVPs still wins, hands down, and by quite ways.
